Ol’ Man River
Jerome Kern, Oscar Hammerstein II
Ol' man river that ol' man river
He don't say nothing
But he must know something
Cause he just keeps rolling
He keeps rolling along
He don't plant tators he don't plant cotton
Them that plants 'em is soon forgotten
But ol' man river
He just keeps rolling along you and me
We sweat and strain body all aching
And wracked with pain tote that barge
Lift that bale get a little drunk
And you land in jail
I gets weary sick of trying
I'm tired of living feared of dying
But ol' man river he's rolling along
