The Lonesome River (with Ralph Stanley) - Bob Dylan/Ralph Stanley

I sit here alone on the banks of the river

The lonseome wind blows and the water runs high

I can hear a voice call out there in the darkness

But I sit here alone too lonesome to cry

Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight

I sit on the shore too grievin' to cry

The woman I love she left me this morning

With no-one to love or kiss me goodnight

We met there one night on the banks of the river

Sat there holdin' hands and makin' a vow

That we never would part and be happy together

But the new love she's found - she's gone with him now

Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight

I sit on the shore too grievin' to cry

The woman I love she left me this morning

With no-one to love or kiss me goodnight
