Ol' Man River lyrics

Ol' Man River

That Ol' Man River

Don't say nothing

He don't do nothing

He just keeps rolling

Keeps on rolling along

He don't plant taters

He don't plant cotton

And them what plants 'em

Is soon forgotten

But Ol' Man River

Just keeps rolling along

You and me

We sweat and we strain

Our bodies all achin'

And we're wracked with pain

Tote that barge

And you lift, you lift that bale

You get a little drunk

And you land in jail

I'm weary

And I'm sick of trying

Scared of living

And scared of trying

But Ol' Man River

He just keeps on rolling along

Along
