Clinch Mountain Boys - Lonesome River lyrics

I sit here alone on the banks of the river The lonesome wind blows and the water runs high I can hear a voice call from 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 to grieving and 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 holding hands and making a vow That we never would part and be happy together But a 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 to grieving and to cry The woman I love she left me this morning With no-one to love or kiss me goodnight
