Ol’ Man River Kenn Sisson and His Orchestra

[Verse 1]
Ol' Man River
Ol' Man River
He must know somethin'
He don't say nothin'
Just keeps rollin'
Keeps on rollin' along

[Verse 2]
Why don't plant taters
They don't plant cotton
Dem that plants 'em
Are soon forgotten
Ol' Man River
Just keeps rollin' along

[Bridge]
You and me, we sweat and strain
Body all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bale
Get a little drunk if you land in jail

[Verse 3]
I gets weary
I'm sick of tryin'
I'm tired of livin'
Scared of dyin'
But Ol' Man River
Just keeps rollin' along
