That Ol' Man River
Don't say nothing
Don't do nothing
He just keeps rollin'
Keeps on rollin' along
He don't plant tators
He don't plant cotton
The man plants this
Is soon forgotten
But Ol' Man River
Just keeps rollin' along
You and me
We sweat and we strain
Our bodies all aching
And we're wracked, so wracked with pain
Tote that barge that you lift
He'd lift that bale
Get a little drunk
And you land, you land in jail
I'm weary
And I'm sick of trying
Scared of living
And scared of dying
But Ol' Man River
He just, he keeps on rollin' along
Along
