Long Gone Lonesome Blues — текст песни (Sheryl Crow)

(by Hank Williams)

I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die ... Oh Lord!
And then I jumped in the river, but the river was dry.

He`s long gone, and now I`m lonesome blue.

I had me a man who couldn`t be true.
He made me for my money and she made me blue.
A woman needs a man that he can lean on,
But my leanin` post is done left and gone.

He`s long gone, and now I`m lonesome blue.

I`m gonna find me a river, one that`s cold as ice.
And when I find me that river, Lord I`m gonna pay the price, OhLord!
I`m goin` down in it three times, but Lord I`m only comin uptwice.

He`s long gone, and now I`m lonesome blue.

He told me on Sunday he was checkin` me out;
Long about Monday he was nowhere about.
And here it is Tuesday, ain`t had no news.
I got them gone but not forgotten blues.
He`s long gone, and now I`m lonesome blue
