Ol' Man River |
| Old man river, that old man river |
| He don’t say nothing, he don’t know something |
| Well He just keeps rolling, he keeps on rolling along! |
| He don’t plant tatters, he don’t plant cotton |
| And them that plants them, are soon forgotten |
| Well He just keeps rolling, he keeps on rolling along! |
| You and I, we sweat and strain |
| Body all aching 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 living, and I’m scared of dying |
| But old man river, he just keeps rolling along |
| Old man river, that old man river |
| You say nothing, you know something |
| Well you just keeps rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling along! |
| He don’t plant tatters, he don’t plant cotton |
| And them that plants them, are soon forgotten |
| Well you just keeps rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling along! |
| You and I, we sweat and strain |
| Body all aching 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 living, and I’m scared of dying |
| But old man river, he just keeps rolling along |
