Ol’ Man River

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] He don't plant taters And we all know he don't pick cotton But them that plant 'em are soon forgotten That old man river He just keeps rolling along Oh, yes, he does [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] I'm so weary I'm sick of trying I'm tired of living But afraid of dying That, that god-darn old river He just keeps rolling along Keep on rolling along [Outro] 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 Keep on rolling
