Ol' man river

That ol' man river

But don't say nothin'

But He must know some jes' keeps rollin'

He keeps on rollin' along

Rollin' along

He don' plant tators

He don't plant cotton

An' dem dat plants'em

Is soon forgotten but ol'man river

He jes keeps rollin' along

You an' me we sweat an' strain

Body all achin' an' racket wid pain

Tote dat barge

Lif' dat bale

Git a little drunk

An' you land in jail

Ah gits weary

An' sick of tryin'

Ah'm tired of livin'

An' skeered of dyin'

But ol' man river

He jes' keeps rolling' along
