Ol' Man River
Lyricist:Oscar Ii Hammerstein, Jerome David Kern
Here we all work 'long the Mississippi Here we all work while the white folk play Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset Gettin' no rest till the judgment day
Don't look up and don't look down Ya don't dast make the white boss frown Bend your knees and bow your head And pull that rope until you're dead
Let me go 'way from the Mississippi Let me go 'way from the white man boss Show me that stream called the River Jordan That's the old stream that I long to cross
Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com He must know somepin', but he 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, 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 jail
I gets weary and so sick of tryin' I'm tired of livin', but I'm feared of dyin' And Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' along
