Stone River - JJ Cale

Stone river

Water ain’t runnin' no more

Stone river

Water ain’t runnin' no more

Man he done cut if off

And moved it all around

There ain’t no river runnin'

No water can’t be found

Stone river

Water ain’t runnin' no more

Fish ain’t swimmin'

Ain’t no fish around nowhere

Fish ain’t swimmin'

Ain’t nobody seem to care

They botteled up and dammed it

Choked it up and jammed it

Killed the life around it

And stole it like a bandit

Stone river

Water ain’t runnin' no more

What used to be a river

Now is just an empty site

Ain’t no vegetation

It’s just an agitation

It don’t seem right

There ain’t no trees a growin'

No animals are showin'

What used to be a stream

Is now just a dream

Stone river

Water ain’t runnin' nowhere

Stone river

Water ain’t runnin' no more

Man he done cut it off

And moved it all around

There ain’t no river runnin'

No water can’t be found

Stone river

Water ain’t runnin' no more

They botteled up and dammed it

Choked it up and jammed it

Killed the life around it

And stole it like a bandit

Stone river

Water ain’t runnin' no more

There ain’t no trees a growin'

No animals are showin'

What used to be a stream

Is now just a dream

Stone river

Water ain’t runnin' nowhere

Stone river

Water ain’t runnin' no more
