New Frontier: Lonesome blues [lyrics]

New Frontier

Lonesome blues

I went down to the river 

To watch the fish swim by

And when I got to the river

So lonesome I wanted to cry

I went down

Jumped in the river

But that lonesome river was dry

She told me on sunday

She's gonna be checkin' me out

Long about monday

That woman was nowhere about

Here it is tuesday, yeah, ain't had no news

Hey baby, I got them lonesome blues

I got them lonesome blues

A man needs a woman

One that he can lean on

But my leaning post baby

Done left and gone

I went down 

I'm down to the river

I never make it home

I got them lonesome blues
