Long Gone Lonesome Blues - The AFRS Shows

We all lovesick blues' boy, Hank Williams!

Hank, come out here, boy

Hank, I understand you've been out this week seeing a lot of the country

Investing with your friends out on the road

Where else you been this week, buddy?

We read in the past five weeks we've been up to great northwest Canada and Washington

North Texas and Louisiana and Oklahoma

Really been seeing a lot of the country

I'll tell you, uh, what one of the hit songs that you make that the folks seem to ask for often?

As of right now, Hank?

Well, the one they seem to be

Asking for the most, this is a pitiful little song called it "Long Gone Lonesome Blue"

That's it

♪

I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by

But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die, oh Lord

And then I jumped in the river, but the doggone river was dry

She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue

Well, I had me a woman who couldn't be true

She made me for my money and she made me blue

A man needs a woman that he can lean on

But my leanin' post is done left and gone

She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue

♪

I'm gon' find me a river, one that's cold as ice

And when I find me that river, Lord, I'm gonna pay the price, oh, Lord

I'm goin' down in it three times, but I'm only comin' up twice

She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue

Well, she told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out

A long about Monday she was nowhere about

And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news

I got them gone, but not forgotten blues

She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue

C'mere, Hank

Oh, thanks a lot

Well, we knew that the people wasn't gon' to let you get away without a second helping

Here, Hank, so we had it all fixed up here

What's this other number you want to do for us here?

Well, this is a new and red

This is my last MGM record (last record?)
