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 doggone river was dry. She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. I had me a woman who couldn't be true. She made me for my money and she made me blue. A man needs a woman that he can lean on, But my leanin' post is done left and gone. She'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, Oh Lord! I'm goin' down in it three times, but Lord I'm only comin up twice. She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out; Long about Monday she was nowhere about. And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news. I got them gone but not forgotten blues. She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.

Baby, baby How you feel about this being free? Baby, baby How you feel about being free?

Cold ground was my bed last night And rock was my pillow too Cold ground was my bed last night And rock was my pillow too, yeah I'm sayin talkin' blues, talkin' blues They say your feet is just too big for your shoes Talkin' blues, talkin' blues Your feet is just too big for your shoes I've been down on the rock so long I seem to wear a permanent screw, yeah I've been down on the rock so long I seem to wear a permanent screw But I'm gonna stare in the sun Let the rays shine in my eyes I'm gonna take a just a one step more Cause I feel like bombing a church, now Now that you know that the preacher is lying So who's gonna stay at home When, when the freedom fighters are fighting Talkin' blues, talkin' blues They say your feet is just too big for your shoes, whoa Talkin' blues, keep on, talkin' blues They say, you hear what they say, didn't you hear? Cold ground was my bed last night Rock stone, rock stone, rock stone was my pillow Cold ground was my bed last night And rock was my pillow too Sayin talkin' blues, talkin' blues I seem to wear a permanent, permanent screw Talkin' blues, talkin' blues They say your feet is just too big for your shoes

He's just a singer A natural born guitar ringer Kind of a clinger to sad old songs He's not a walk behinder He's a new note finder His name's a reminder of a blues man That's already gone So he started drinking and took some things That messed up his thinking He was sure sinking when she came along He was alone in the spotlight not to much left inside She changed all that one night When she sang him this song Hey baby, I love you Hey baby, I need you Hey baby, you ain't got to prove to me You're some kind of macho man You wasted so much of your life running through the dark nights Let me shine a little love light down on that blues man He got so sick from speeding All the things they said he was needing If he was to keep on pleasing all of his fans He got cuffed on dirt roads He got sued over no-shows She came and took all that old load down off of that blues man And he sang Hey baby, I love you too Hey baby, I need you Hey baby I do get tired of this traveling band I'm over 40 years old now Nights would be cold now If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man He's over 40 years old now Nights would be so cold now If she hadn't hung around with that blues man
