Lyrics
I sit here alone
On the banks of the river
The lonesome wind blows
The water rolls high
I hear a voice calling
Out there in the darkness
I sit here alone
Too lonesome to cry
Oh the water rolls high
On the river at midnight
I sit on the shore
To grieve and 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
Stood there holding hands
And making our vows
Said we'd never part
And be happy forever
But a new love she's found
She's gone from me now
Oh the water rolls high
On the river at midnight
I sit on the shore
To grieve and to cry
The woman I love
She left me this morning
With no one to love
Or kiss me goodnight
With no one to love
Or kiss me goodnight
