Ol' Man River |
Here we all work 'long the Mississippi |
Here we all work, while the white boys play |
Gettin' no rest from the dawn till the sunset |
Gettin' no rest till the judgment day |
You don’t look up, you don’t look down |
You don’t dare make the rich boss frown |
Bend your knees and bow your head |
And tote that barge until you’re dead |
Let me go away from the Mississippi |
Let me go away from the rich man boss |
Show me that stream called the River of Jordan |
That’s the old stream that I long to cross |
Old Man River, Old Man River |
He don’t say nothin', he must know somethin' |
Old Man River, he just keeps rollin' along |
You know, you know he don’t plant taters |
And we all know the man don’t plant no cotton |
And then, then they plant 'em |
Oh the Lord knows they are soon forgotten |
But Old Man River, he just keeps rollin' along |
You, you and me, you know sometimes |
We have to we have to sweat, sweat and strain |
Our bodies, our bodies are all achin' |
And wracked with a whole lot of pain |
Tote that barge, lift that bale, you get a little drunk |
And you land in jail |
I get weary and so sick of tryin' |
I’m tired of livin', and afraid of dyin' |
But Old Man River, he just keeps rollin' a |
Old Man River, he just keeps rollin' along |
