The Lonesome River

I sit here alone on the banks of the river

The lonseome wind blows and the water runs high

I can hear a voice call out there in the darkness

But I sit here alone too lonesome to cry

Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight

I sit on the shore too grievin'to cry

The woman I love she left me this morning

With no-one to love or kiss me goodnight

We met there one night on the banks of the river

Sat there holdin'hands and makin'a vow

That we never would part and be happy together

But the new love she's found -she's gone with him now

Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight

I sit on the shore too grievin'to cry

The woman I love she left me this morning

With no-one to love or kiss me goodnight
