Lonesome River
     Monroe
     key=D
 
  
     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

     CHORUS:
     [ 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
