Ol' Man River

Here we all work, on one jar or another
 Why should I work while he rolls blaze?
 I get tired, so tired and weary
 Got to keep tolling day by day
 Ol' man river, ol' man river
 He don't say nothin', but he must know somethin'
 Ol' man river keeps on rollin' along, ah, ah
 No, he don't plant cotton, he don't plant taters
 Them that plants 'em is soon forgotten
 Ol' man river keeps on rollin' along
 Well, you and me, we sweat and strain
 Our bodies all achin' and wrecked with pain
 Tote that barge, you better lift that bale
 Get a little drunk and you land in jail
 I get weary, so sick of tryin'
 I'm tired of livin', but afraid of dyin'
 Ol' man river, he keeps on rollin' along, yeah

 Get a little drunk and you land in jail

 Tired of livin', but afraid of dyin'
