The Lonesome River

Lyrics

[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
