Ol' Man River

(专辑： Soul Sister - 1966)

Here we all work, on one jar or another
Why should I work while he rolls blaze?
I get tired, so tired and weary
Got to keep tolling day by day

Ol' man river, ol' man river
He don't say nothing, but he must know something
Ol' man river keeps on rolling along, ah ah

No, he don't plant cotton, he don't plant taters
Them what plants 'em is soon forgotten
Ol' man river keeps on rolling along

Well, you and me, we sweat and strain
Our bodies all aching and wracked with pain
Tote that barge, you better lift that bale
Get a little drunk and you land in jail

I get weary, so sick of trying
I'm tired of living, but afraid of dying
Ol' man river, he keeps on rolling along

Well, you, you and me, we sweat and strain
Our bodies all aching and wracked with pain
Oh, tote that barge, you better lift that bale
Get a little drunk and you land in jail

I get weary, so sick of trying
Tired of living, but afraid of dying
Ol' man river, he keeps on rolling along
Ol' man river keeps on rolling along, yeah
Ol' man river keeps on rolling along
