6   6    6   6  6   6  4
I went down to the riv-er 

5    6    6  6 -5    5   4
to watch the fi-sh swim by

 6  6  6   6  6   6  4 
But I got to the riv-er 

 5   6    6  6   6  -5  5 5 7 6 7   5   4
so lone-some I want-ed to d--i--e. Oh Lawd

 6   -6  6   -7   -7  6  -6  6
And then I jumped in the riv-er 

 5  -5   6    6   6  -5  5   4
but the dog-gone riv-er was dry.

3  4   4 4  4  5   3    4    4   4   5
I had me a wom-an she could-n't be true

 4   5    6  6   6  6  6  -6   6   -7   6   5
She made me for my mon-ey and she made me blue

6  6    6   6  6  4    6   6  6    6   6
A man needs a wom-an that he can lean on

 5  -5   6   6   6 4   5  5   6 -5   5    4
But my lean-in' po-st is done le-ft and gone

 5 -5 6 8 6 8 6 -6-9-6-9-6 
Sh-es l-o--n--g g--o--n--e 

-6  6-8 6  5  -5-8 6   -4   5  7
and n-o-w I'm l-o-n-e-some bl-ues.
