Ol’ Man River

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ol' man river, mm-hmm Ol' man river He don't say nothin' But he must know somethin' He just keeps a-rollin' Keeps on rollin' along [Verse 2] He don't plant taters, uh-huh Don't plant cotton 'Cause them that plant 'em Are soon forgotten But ol' man river He just keeps rollin' along [Bridge] You and me, we sweat and strain Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain Tote that barge, you gotta lift that bale Let's get drunk, spend the night in jail [Verse 3] I gets weary I'm sick of tryin' I'm tired of livin' And I'm scared, scared of dyin' But ol' man river He just keeps, keeps a-rollin' along
