Ol’ Man River

Lyrics

That Old Man River Old Man River Don't say nothin' But he must know somethin' 'Cause he keeps on rollin' Keeps on rollin' along Yes, he don't plant taters Don't plant cotton But them that plants them are Soon forgotten, yes But old man river He keeps on rollin' along Yes, you and me, we sweat and strain Our bodies all achin' and racked with pain Tote that barge, lift that bale You get a little drunk and you land in jail I'm weary I'm sick of tryin' Tired of livin' And feared of dyin', yeah 'Cause Old Man River He keeps on rollin' along Ooh! [Saxophone solo] Yes, you and me, we sweat and strain Our bodies all achin' and racked with pain Yeah, you can totе that barge And you can lift that bale You get a littlе drunk and you land in jail I'm weary, I'm Sick of tryin' Tired of livin' But feared of dyin' 'Cause Old Man River, he keeps on movin' Old Man River, he keeps on groovin' Old Man River, he keeps on movin' Old Man River, he keeps on SWINGIN' Old Man River, HE keeps on rollin' along!
