Lyrics

[00:08.12] Ol' man river, that ol' man river
[00:12.27] He must know something, but he don't say nothing
[00:17.14] That ol' man river, he just keep rollin' along
[00:26.94] He don't plant 'taters
[00:30.70] He don't plant cotton
[00:32.39] Cause them that plants them is soon forgotten
[00:36.20] And ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along
[00:45.80] 'Cause you and me, we sweat and strain
[00:50.30] Body all achin' and wracked with pain
[00:54.75] Tote that barge, lift that bale
[00:59.16] Get a little drunk and you land in jail
[01:07.10] But I get weary and sick of tryin'
[01:11.64] 'Cause I'm tired of livin' 'But I'm scared of dyin'
[01:13.81] That ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along
[01:26.39] You and me, we sweat and strain
[01:30.42] Body all achin' and wracked with pain
[01:34.83] Tote that barge, lift that bale
[01:39.47] Get a little drunk and you land in jail
[01:47.89] But I get weary and sick of tryin'
[01:52.18] 'Cause I'm tired of livin'
[01:54.52] But I'm scared of dyin'
[01:56.80] That ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along
