Ol' Man River

Ol' man river

That ol' man river

He don't say nothing

But he must know something

That ol' man river

He just keeps rolling along

He don't plant tater's

And we all know he don't pick cotton

But them that plant'em are soon forgotten

That ol' man river

He just keeps rolling along

Oh yes he does

You and me we sweat and toil

Our bodies all naked and racked with pain

Now listen

Lift that bar you better tote that bail

And if ya get a little drunk

You'll land in jail

I'm so weary

I'm sick of trying

I'm tried of livin'

But afraid of dyin'

That that god darn old river

He just keeps rolling along

Keep on rolling along

Keep on rolling along

Ol' man river don't you stop your way

Keep on running from the north

The south, the east or west
