River Run Down

(album: #16 - 1963)

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
