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… |
