Lyrics
Ol' man river
That ol' man river
He must know somethin'
But don't say nothin'
He just keeps rollin'
He keeps on rollin' along
He don't plant taters
He don't plant cotton
And them that plants 'em
Is soon forgotten
But ol' man river
He just keeps rollin' along
You and me
We sweat and strain
Body all achin'
And wracked with pain
Tote that barge
You lift that bale
You get a little drunk
And you land in jail
I gets weary and sick of tryin'
Tired of livin'
And feared of dyin'
But ol' man river
Just keeps rollin' along
Ol' man river
Ol' man river
Must know somethin'
But don't say nothin'
Just keeps rollin'
He keeps on rollin' along
Don't plant taters
And he don't plant cotton
Them that plants 'em
Soon forgotten
But ol' man river
Just keeps rollin' along
You and me
We sweat and strain
Body all achin'
And wracked with pain
You tote that barge
You lift that bale
You get a little drunk
And you land in jail
I gets weary and sick of tryin'
Tired of livin'
Scared of dyin'
But ol' man river
Just keeps rollin' along
You and me
We sweat and strain
Body achin'
And wracked with pain
You tote that barge
You lift that bale
You get a little drunk
And you land in jail
I gets weary and sick of tryin'
Tired of livin'
Scared of dyin'
Ol' man river
Just keeps rollin' along
Ol' man river
Just keeps rollin'
Rollin', rollin'
He keeps on rollin'
He just keeps on rollin'
Along
