Ol' man river. |
|
That ol' man river. |
|
He don't say nothin' |
|
But he must know somethin' |
|
Cause he just keeps rollin' |
|
He keeps rollin' along. |
|
Rollin' along. |
|
He don't plant tators |
|
He don't plant cotton. |
|
Them that plants 'em is soon forgotten. |
|
But ol' man river |
|
He keeps rollin' along. |
|
You and me |
|
We sweat and strain. |
|
Body all achin' |
|
And wracked with pain. |
|
Tote that barge. |
|
Lift that bale. |
|
Get a little drunk |
|
And you land in jail. |
|
I gets weary |
|
Sick of tryin' |
|
I'm tired of livin' |
|
Feared of dyin' |
|
But ol' man river |
|
He's rollin' along. |
