Lyrics The Kingston Trio

The Kingston Trio

River Run Down

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
