Kingston Trio River Run Down Lyrics

River Run Down Lyrics

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 everywhere



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
