Sweet Home Alabama movie - Long Gone Lonesome Blues lyrics

rate me

Song by Sheryl Crow<br /><br>

I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by<br>

But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die ... Oh Lord!<br>

And then I jumped in the river, but the river was dry.<br>

<br>

He's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.<br>

<br>

I had me a man who couldn't be true.<br>

He made me for my money and she made me blue.<br>

A woman needs a man that he can lean on,<br>

But my leanin' post is done left and gone.<br>

<br>

He's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.<br>

<br>

I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice.<br>

And when I find me that river, Lord I'm gonna pay the price, Oh Lord!<br>

I'm goin' down in it three times, but Lord I'm only comin up twice.<br>

<br>

He's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.<br>

<br>

He told me on Sunday he was checkin' me out;<br>

Long about Monday he was nowhere about.<br>

And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news.<br>

I got them gone but not forgotten blues.<br>

He's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.<br>

<br>
