The Lonesome River

[Verse 1: Bob Dylan]

I sit here alone on the banks of the river

The lonesome wind blows and the water rolls high

I can hear a voice calling out there in the darkness

But I sit here alone too lonesome to cry

[Chorus: Bob Dylan and Ralph Stanley]

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Bob Dylan]

We met there one night on the banks of the river

Sat there holding hands and making our vow

That we never would part and be happy together

But a new love she's found, she's gone from me now

[Chorus: Bob Dylan and Ralph Stanley]

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
