Ol’ Man River

That Old Man River
Old Man River
Don't say nothin'
But he must know somethin'
'Cause he keeps on rollin'
Keeps on rollin' along

Yes, he don't plant taters
Don't plant cotton
But them that plants them are
Soon forgotten, yes
But old man river
He keeps on rollin' along

Yes, you and me, we sweat and strain
Our bodies all achin' and racked with pain
Tote that barge, lift that bale
You get a little drunk and you land in jail

I'm weary
I'm sick of tryin'
Tired of livin'
And feared of dyin', yeah
'Cause Old Man River
He keeps on rollin' along

Ooh!

[Saxophone solo]

Yes, you and me, we sweat and strain
Our bodies all achin' and racked with pain
Yeah, you can totе that barge
And you can lift that bale
You get a littlе drunk and you land in jail

I'm weary, I'm
Sick of tryin'
Tired of livin'
But feared of dyin'
'Cause Old Man River, he keeps on movin'
Old Man River, he keeps on groovin'
Old Man River, he keeps on movin'
Old Man River, he keeps on SWINGIN'
Old Man River, HE keeps on rollin' along!
