Ol' Man River
L' man river, that ol' man riverHe must know somethin' but he don't say nothin'He just keeps rollin', keeps on rollin' along.He don't plant tatters, and he don't plant cottonAnd them that plants 'em, are soon forgotten.But ol' man river, just keeps rollin' along.You and me, we sweat and strain,Bodies all achin' 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 tryingI'm tired of livin', feared of dyin'And ol' man river, he just keeps rollin'Just keeps rollin'Just keeps rollin' along.
