Ol' man river. That ol' man river. He don't say nothin' he don't know nothing well he just keeps rollin' He keeps on rollin' along. Rollin' along. He don't plant tators He don't plant cotton. and them that plant them are soon forgotten well he just keeps rolling he keeps on rolling along You and I We sweat and strain. Body all achin' And wracked with pain. Tote that barge. Lift that bale. Get a little drunk And you land in jail. I get weary and sick of tryin' I'm feared of livin' and I'm scared of dyin' But ol' man river He just keeps rollin' along.
