[Verse 1]
Here we all work, on one job or another
Why should I work while he rolls and plays?
I get tired, so tired and weary
Got to keep toiling day by day
[Chorus]
Ol' man river, ol’ man river
He don't say nothin', but he must know somethin’
Ol' man river keeps on rollin' along, uh-huh
Now, he don't plant cotton, he don't plant taters
Them that plants them, they're soon forgotten
Ol' man river keeps on rollin' along, mhm
[Bridge]
Well, you and me, we sweat and strain
Our bodies all achin’ and wracked with pain
Tote that barge, you better lift that bale
Get a little drunk and you land in jail
[Verse 2]
I get weary, so sick of tryin’
I'm tired of livin’ but afraid of dyin'
Ol' man river, he keeps on rollin' along, mhm
Mhm, mmm, yeah
Here we all work, on one job or another
Why should I work while he rolls and plays?
I get tired, so tired and weary
Got to keep toiling day by day
[Chorus]
Ol' man river, ol’ man river
He don't say nothin', but he must know somethin’
Ol' man river keeps on rollin' along, uh-huh
Now, he don't plant cotton, he don't plant taters
Them that plants them, they're soon forgotten
Ol' man river keeps on rollin' along, mhm
[Bridge]
Well, you and me, we sweat and strain
Our bodies all achin’ and wracked with pain
Tote that barge, you better lift that bale
Get a little drunk and you land in jail
[Verse 2]
I get weary, so sick of tryin’
I'm tired of livin’ but afraid of dyin'
Ol' man river, he keeps on rollin' along, mhm
Mhm, mmm, yeah
