Ol' Man River (from "Show Boat")

Lyrics

Ol' man river.
 That ol' man river.
 He don't say nothin'
 But he must know somethin'
 Cause he just keeps rollin'
 He keeps rollin' along.
 Rollin' along.
 He don't plant tators
 He don't plant cotton.
 Them that plants 'em is soon forgotten.
 But ol' man river
 He keeps rollin' along.
 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 land in jail.
 I gets weary
 Sick of tryin'
 I'm tired of livin'
 Feared of dyin'
 But ol' man river
 He's rollin' along.
