Ol' Man River

Well, Ol' man river

That ol' man river

He must know somethin'

But he don't say nothin'

Cause he just keeps rollin'

He keeps rollin' along

Rollin' along



And don't plant tators

Don't plant cotton

Them that plants 'em is soon forgotten

But that ol' man river

Just keeps rollin' along



You and me

We sweat and strain

Bodys achin'

And wracked with pain

Tote that barg

Lift that bale

Get a little drunk

And you land in jail



I gets weary

yes, I'm sick of tryin'

I'm tired of livin'

Feared of dyin'

But ol' man river

Keeps rollin' along



You and me

We totta sweat and strain

Bodys achin'

And wracked with pain

Tote that barg

Lift up thatthat bale

Get loaded

And you land in jail



I gets weary

Sick of tryin'

I'm tired of livin'

Feared of dyin'

But that ol' man river

Keeps rollin' along
