Ol Man River

Lyrics

[Intro] Ol' man river That ol' man river He must know som'thn' He don't say n'thin' He just keep rollin' He keeps on a-rollin' A-long [Verse] He don't plant taters He don't plant cotton For them that plant it Is soon forgotten [Refrain] But ol' man river He just keeps a-rollin' A-long [Verse] Hey! You coot, you and me! We sweat and strain Body all ached and racked in pain Hey! Tote that barge! Hey! Lift that bale! If you get a little drunk You will land in jail I get so weary So sick, and I'm tired of trying I'm tired of living And scared of dying [Refrain] But ol' man river He just keeps rollin' A-long [Outro] A-rolling! A-long!
