Ralph Stanley - The Lonesome River lyrics

I sit here alone on the banks of the river The lonesome wind blows the water rolls high I hear a voice calling out there in the darkness I sit here alone too lonesome to cry Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight I sit on the shore to grieve 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 by the banks of the river Sat there holding hands and making our vows Swore we'd never part and be happy together But a new love she's found she's gone from me now
