Ol' Man River
There's an old man called the Mississippi
Now that's the old man that I like to be
Oh, what does he care if the world's got troubles?
What does he care if the land's not free?
Ol' man river
That ol' man river
Well, he must know somethin'
But he don't say nothin'
He keeps on rollin'
He just keeps rollin' along
Man don't plant taters
And he don't plant cotton
Yes, and them those plants them is soon forgotten
He keeps on rollin'
He just keeps rollin' along
Oh, you and me, we're just the same
Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge, better lift that bale
You get a little drunk and you land in jail
I get weary
And sick of tryin'
'Til I'm tired of livin'
And I'm scared of dyin'
But ol' man river, he keeps on rollin'
That ol' man river, he just keeps on rollin'
I said that ol' man river, keeps on rollin' along
Ol' man river
Now that's the old man that I like to be
Oh, what does he care if the world's got troubles?
What does he care if the land's not free?
Ol' man river
That ol' man river
Well, he must know somethin'
But he don't say nothin'
He keeps on rollin'
He just keeps rollin' along
Man don't plant taters
And he don't plant cotton
Yes, and them those plants them is soon forgotten
He keeps on rollin'
He just keeps rollin' along
Oh, you and me, we're just the same
Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge, better lift that bale
You get a little drunk and you land in jail
I get weary
And sick of tryin'
'Til I'm tired of livin'
And I'm scared of dyin'
But ol' man river, he keeps on rollin'
That ol' man river, he just keeps on rollin'
I said that ol' man river, keeps on rollin' along
Ol' man river
