Long Gone Lonesome Blues

(album: Rock'n Roll'n Robbins - 1956)

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 leaning post is done left me and gone

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

Since my baby done left me nothing turns out right
I can stand the days but oh the lonesome nights
She left me last Sunday about a quarter 'til nine
She's a long gone baby of mine

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

I'm gonna find me a river that's as cold as ice
When I find me the river, Lord I'll pay the price
I'm going leave this world of woe behind
I'll be long gone like that baby of mine

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

Well she told me on Sunday she was checking me out
Long about Monday she was nowhere about
Nowhere 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
