Ol' Man River

Ol' Man River

(album: In Person! - 1959)

Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River
He must know something but he don't say nothing
He just keeps rolling, keeps on rolling along.
He don't plant tatters, and he don't plant cotton
and them that plants'em, are soon forgotten.
But Ol' Man River, just keeps rolling along.

You and me, we sweat and strain,
Bodies all aching and racked with pain.
Tote that barge and lift that bail.
You get a little drunk and you lands in jail.
I gets weary and sick of trying
I'm tired of living, feared of dying
And Ol' Man River, he just keeps rolling
just keeps rolling
just keeps rolling along.
