Don MacArthur/John Stewart

Chorus:
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

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)
