Yes that ol' man river
That ol' man river
Must know somethin'
Don't say nothin'
Oh he just keeps rollin'
Yes he keeps on rollin', rollin' along
Yes
No he don't plant no taters
Man the cat don't plant no cotton
Them like me that plant some
Are soon forgotten
Yes that ol' man river
Man he keeps rollin', rollin' along
Oh
You and me, we sweat and we strain
Bodies all a-achin' man and racked up with so much pain
Hey we tote, tote, tote that barge, huh huh
Lift that heavy bale
Get a little bit drunk and you're left in jail
Oh I get weary and sick of trying
Tired of living and feel of dying
Oh and that ol' man river
Man he keeps on rollin' every day
One more time
I say that, that, that river
My old friend the ol' man river rolls along every day
Hey
Keeps on rollin'
That ol' man river rolls
I don't know how he do it
We tote barge, lift bale and everything
