Ol' Man River |
| Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River |
| He must know somethin' but he don’t say nothin' |
| He just keeps rollin', keeps on rollin' along. |
| He don’t plant tatters, and he don’t plant cotton |
| and them that plants’em, are soon forgotten. |
| But Ol' Man River, just keeps rollin' along. |
| You and me, we sweat and strain, |
| Bodies all achin' and racked with pain. |
| Tote that barge and lift that bail. |
| You get a little drunk and you lands in jail. |
| I gets weary and sick of trying |
| I’m tired of livin', feared of dyin' |
| And Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' |
| just keeps rollin' |
| just keeps rollin' along. |
