Ol' Man River

Old man river, that old man river

He don't say nothin', but he must know somethin'

That old man river, he just keeps rolling along

He don't plant tater's

And we all know, he don't pick cotton

But them that plant 'em, are soon forgotten

That old man river, he just keeps rolling along, oh, yes he does

You and me, we sweat and toil

Our bodies, all naked and racked with pain, now listen

Lift that bar, you'd better tote that bail

And if ya get a little drunk, you'll land in jail

I'm so weary,

I'm sick of tryin'

I'm tired of livin' but afraid of dyin'

That, that god-darn old river, he just keeps rolling along

Keep on rollin' along

Keep on rollin' along

Old man river, don't you stop your way

Keep on runnin' from the

North, the

South, the

East or West

You gotta roll it
