You left me baby a year ago But I still love you, I'm mourning low Lord I'm blue and so down hearted That lonesome old river's my home I bought you diamonds, fine clothes to wear Spent all of my money but you don't care Lord I'm blue and so down hearted That lonesome old river's my home It's stormy weather, the sun won't shine If you don't love me stay out of my mind Lord I'm blue and so down hearted That lonesome old river's my home It makes no difference where I may roam I'll always love you, honey, come back home Lord I'm blue and so down hearted That lonesome old river's my home Going down to the river, honey don't you weep Going to drown my troubles where it's cold and deep Lord I'm blue and so down hearted That lonesome old river's my home
