The Lonesome River
Recorded by Ralph Stanley
Written by Carter Stanley and Ralph Stanley

C
I sit here alone on the banks of the river
                  F                    C
The lonesome wind blows the water rode high
               F                          C
I hear a voice call from out there in the darkness
               G7                    C
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 grieve and to cry
            
The woman I love she left me this morning
               G7                  C
With no one to love or kiss me goodnight


We met there one night on the banks of the river
                  F                  C
Sat there holdin' hands and makin' a vow
                    F                   C
That we never would part and be happy together
                     G7                        C
But a new love she's found she's gone with him now
