歌词
[Verse 1]
Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River
He must know something but don't say nothing
He just keeps rollin'
He keeps on rollin' along
[Verse 2]
He don't plant taters, he don't plant cotton
And them that plants 'em is soon forgotten
But Ol' Man River
He just keeps rollin' along
[Verse 3]
You and me, we sweat and strain
Body all achin' and racked with pain
Tote that barge, lift that bale
Get a little drunk and you land in jail
[Verse 4]
I gets weary and sick of tryin'
And tired of livin' and sick of dyin'
But Ol' Man River
He just keeps rollin' along
[Verse 5]
Don't look up and don't look down
You don't darest make the white boss frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And pull that rope until your dead
[Verse 6]
Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River
He must know something but don't say nothing
He just keeps rollin'
He keeps on rollin' along
[Verse 7]
He don't plant taters, he don't plant cotton
And them that plants 'em is soon forgotten
But Ol' Man River
He just keeps rollin' along
[Verse 8]
You and me, we sweat and strain
Body all achin' and racked with pain
Tote that barge, lift that bale
Get a little drunk and you land in jail
[Verse 9]
I gets weary and sick of tryin'
And tired of livin' and sick of dyin'
But Ol' Man River
He just keeps rollin' along
