Ol' Man River

Ol' man river

Ol' man river

Must know something

But he don't say nothin

No no

He just keep rollin

He keeps on rollin along

(rollin he keeps on rollin and a rollin)

And i know he don't plant taters

And he don't plant cotton

Them that plants em

Are all forgotten

but i know that

That ol' man river

Ah he just keeps rollin along

You and me

Oh we sweat and strain

Lord our bodies all achin

And wracked with the pain

Hey told that barge

C'mon and a lift that -

Did you get yourself drunk

And you'll land

I said you'll land in jail

Hm lord i gets weary

And i'm sick of trying

I'm tired of living

Oh but i'm so scared of dying

I know that

That ol' man river

I said that ol' man river

I know that ol' man river

I said he just keeps rolling along
