River Run Down - The Kingston Trio

Oh, the river run down but the stream ran dry.

Big strong man don’t ever cry

Just stands to watch his love go by.

Oh, the river ran down but the stream ran

dry

Yes, he loved a woman but he let her get away.

Didn’t ever think he’d regret

that day

The laugh and the smile, he’d still play the game, but he knew that day would

never by the same

Oh, the river run down but the stream ran dry.

Big strong man don’t ever cry

Just stands to watch his love go by.

Oh, the river ran down but the stream ran

dry

There walks a man, he could’ve had a home, fine baby children, a woman of his

own

He walks all alone.

He doesn’t have a care but he keeps on thinking that he

sees her ev’rywhere

Oh, the river run down but the stream ran dry.

Big strong man don’t ever cry

Just stands to watch his love go by.

Oh, the river ran down but the stream ran

dry
