Ol' Man River

Lyrics

Ol' man river.
 That ol' man river.
 He don't say nothin'
 he don't know nothing
 well he just keeps rollin'
 He keeps on rollin' along.
 Rollin' along.
 He don't plant tators
 He don't plant cotton.
 and them that plant them
 are soon forgotten
 well he just keeps rolling
 he keeps on rolling along
 You and I
 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 get weary
 and sick of tryin'
 I'm feared of livin'
 and I'm scared of dyin'
 But ol' man river
 He just keeps rollin' along.
