Lyrics

0:24Ol' Man River that Ol' Man River

0:32He must know somethin' but don't say nothin'

0:40He just keeps rollin' he keeps on rollin' along

0:54He don't plant taters and he don't plant cotton

1:01And them what plants 'em is soon forgotten

1:09But Ol' Man River he just keeps rollin' along

1:22You and me we sweat and strain

1:27Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain

1:33Tote that barge and lift that bale

1:40Ya get a little drunk and ya lands in ja-ail

1:55I gets weary and sick of tryin'

2:02I'm tired of livin' and feared of dyin'

2:10And Ol' Man River he just keeps rollin' along

Ol' Man River  that Ol' Man River
He must know somethin'  but don't say nothin'
He just keeps rollin'  he keeps on rollin' along
He don't plant taters  and he don't plant cotton
And them what plants 'em is soon forgotten
But Ol' Man River  he just keeps rollin' along
You and me  we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bale
Ya get a little drunk and ya lands in ja-ail
I gets weary and sick of tryin'
I'm tired of livin'  and feared of dyin'
And Ol' Man River  he just keeps rollin' along
