Old Man River

Old Man River

(album: You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' - 1965)

Old Man River, that Old Man River
He don't hear nothing, he don't say nothing
He keeps on rolling, he keeps on rolling along
Rolling along

He don't plant tatters, he don't plant cotton
And them that plants 'em, are soon forgotten
But Old Man River, he keeps on rolling along
Rolling along

You and me, we sweat, sweat and strain
Body's all aching, racked, racked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bail
Get a little drunk and you land in jail

I get weary, sick of trying
I'm tired of living, but I'm scared of dying
But Old Man River, he just keeps rolling along...
