[D] I sit here alone, on the banks of the river
The lonesome wind [G] blows,
The water rolls [D] high
I hear a voice [G] callin’
Out there in the darkness
I sit here [A] alone too lonesome to [D] cry


CHO:
The water rolls high
On the [G] river at [D] midnight
I sit on the shore to weep and to cry
The woman I love
She left me this morning
With no one to [C] lo..[D]..ve
or [A] kiss me good [D] night


We met there one night
On the banks of the river
Stood there holding hands
And makin’ our vows
That we'd never part
And be happy forever
But a new love she's found
She'd gone from me now
