Ol' Man River

Lyrics

Ol' man river
 That ol' man river
 He don't say nothing
 But he must know something
 That ol' man river
 He just keeps rolling along
 He don't plant tater's
 And we all know he don't pick cotton
 But them that plant'em are soon forgotten
 That ol' man river
 He just keeps rolling along
 Oh yes he does
 You and me we sweat and toil
 Our bodies all naked and racked with pain
 Now listen
 Lift that bar you better tote that bail
 And if ya get a little drunk
 You'll land in jail
 I'm so weary
 I'm sick of trying
 I'm tried of livin'
 But afraid of dyin'
 That that god darn old river
 He just keeps rolling along
 Keep on rolling along
 Keep on rolling along
 Ol' man river don't you stop your way
 Keep on running from the north
 The south, the east or west
