Ol' Man River

Rolling along

Rolling along

Rolling along

Hmmm

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

I get weary and sick of trying

I'm tired of living and afraid of dying

While old man river he just keeps rolling along
