[00:29.21]Here we all work 'long the Mississippi
[00:37.68]Here we all work while the white folk play
[00:45.80]Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset
[00:53.23]Gettin' no rest till the judgment day
[01:04.94]Don't look up
[01:07.07]An' don't look down
[01:09.77]You don't dast make the white boss frown
[01:15.41]Bend your knees
[01:18.20]An' bow your head
[01:21.47]And pull that rope until you're dead
[01:31.71]
[01:33.76]Ol' Man River
[01:37.55]Dat Ol' Man River
[01:41.80]He must know somepin',
[01:45.21]But he don't say nothin'
[01:49.10]He just keeps rollin',
[01:53.03]He keeps on rollin' along
[02:06.93]He don't plant taters,
[02:11.27]He don't plant cotton
[02:14.95]An' them what plants
[02:18.73]'Em is soon forgotten
[02:24.47]But Ol' Man River,
[02:30.07]He Just keeps rollin' along.
[02:37.75]
[02:45.52]You and me, we sweat and strain
[02:50.26]Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain
[02:55.29]Tote that barge and lift that bale
[03:00.22]Ya get a little drunk and ya lands in jail
[03:12.28]
[03:13.83]I gets weary
[03:17.68]An' so sick of tryin'
[03:22.19]I'm tired of livin',
[03:25.97]But I'm feared of dyin'
[03:30.36]An' Ol' Man River,
[03:34.90]He just keeps rollin' along.
