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.
