Old Man River |
| Old Man River, that Old Man River |
| He don’t hear nothin', he don’t say nothin' |
| He keeps on rollin', he keeps on rollin' along |
| Rollin' along |
| He don’t plant tatters, he don’t plant cotton |
| And them that plants 'em, are soon forgotten |
| But Old Man River, he keeps on rollin' along |
| Rollin' along |
| You and me, we sweat, sweat and strain |
| Body’s all achin', racked, racked with pain |
| Tote that barge and lift that bail |
| Get a little drunk and you land in jail |
| I get weary, sick of trying |
| I’m tired of livin', but I’m scared of dyin' |
| But Old Man River, he just keeps rollin' along… |
