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
