Lyrics River Run Down - 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 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
