I sit here alone, on the banks of the riverThe lonesome wind blows, the water rolls highI hear a voice call, out there in the darknessI sit here alone, too lonesome to cryOh the water rolls high, on the river at midnightI sit on the shore, to weep and to cryThe woman I love, she left me this morningWith no one to love, or kiss me goodnightI sit here alone, on the banks of the riverThe lonesome wind blows, the water rolls highWe met there one night, on the banks of the riverStood there holding hands, and making our vowsSwore we'd never part, and be happy foreverBut a new love she's found, she's gone from me nowOh the water rolls high, on the river at midnightI sit on the shore, to weep and to cryThe woman I love, she left me this morningWith no one to love, or kiss me goodnightWith no one to love, or kiss me goodnight*
