Rolling along, rolling along, rolling along |
|
Hm, old man river, that old man river |
|
He don't say nothing, but he must know something |
|
For old man river, he just keeps rolling along |
|
He don't plant taters, he don't pick cotton |
|
And them that plants em they're soon forgotten |
|
While old man river, he jest keeps rolling along |
|
You and me, we sweat and strain |
|
Body all aching and racked with pain |
|
Towed that bargem lift the bail |
|
Get a little drunk and you land in jail |
|
In get weary and sick of trying |
|
I'm tired of living and afraid of dying |
|
While old man river he just keeps rolling along |
