Lonesome Old River Blues Songtext
von Dom Flemons

You left me, baby, one year ago
But I still love you, I′m mourning low
Lord, I'm blue and so down-hearted
That lonesome old river′s my home

I bought you diamonds, fine clothes to wear
Spent all of my money and you don't care
Lord, I'm blue and so down-hearted
That lonesome old river′s my home


It makes no difference where I may roam
I′ll always love you, honey, come back home
Lord, I'm blue and so down-hearted
That lonesome old river′s my home

Going down to the river, honey, don't you weep
Gonna drown my sorrows where it′s cold and deep
Lord, I'm blue and so down-hearted
That lonesome old river′s my home

Lord, I'm blue and so down-hearted
That lonesome old river's my home
