This Lonesome Old River (2021 Remaster)

[Verse 1]
Sittin' down by the river late at night
Listen to the crickets singin' 'til it's light
A place where I can go to ease my mind
This old river's lonesome, so am I

[Verse 2]
The woman I love, she turned her back on me
Started me to feelin' this a-way
When I need a friend to turn to when I cry
This old river's lonesome, and so am I

[Chorus]
This old river is the only peace I find
She understands and helps me ease my mind
The only thing I'll have when I die
Is this old lonеsome river 'cause shе'll help me take my life

[Verse 3]
A hound dog bayin' loudly far away
Brings back memories of yesterday
When I was young and I cared if I lived or died
Now this old river's keepin' me alive

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
This old river is the only peace I find
She understands and helps me ease my mind
The only thing I'll have when I die
Is this old lonesome river 'cause she'll help me take my life

[Outro]
Is this old lonesome river 'cause she'll help me take my life
