Ol man river, that ol man river,
he must know somethin',
But he don't say nothin'
That ol man river, he just keeps rolling along.
He don't plant tater's,
Don't plants cotton.
Cause them that plants them is soon forgotten,
That old man river, he just keeps rolling along.
Cause you and me, we sweat and strain,
Body all achin' and wracked with pain,
Tote that barge, lift that bale,
Get a little drunk,
And you'll land in jail.
But Im get weary, sick of trying
Cause Im tired of livin, but Im scared of dyin'
That ol man river, he just keeps rollin along.
Cause you and me, we sweat and strain,
Body all achin' and wracked with pain,
Tote that barge, lift that bale,
Get a little drunk,
And you'll land in jail.
But Im get weary, sick of trying
Cause Im tired of livin, but im scared of dyin'
That ol man river, he just keeps rollin along.
