Old man river, that old man river, He don`t say nothin`, but he must know somethin` That old man river, he just keeps rolling along.
He don`t plant tater`s, and we all know he don`t pick cotton. But them that plant `em, are soon forgotten, that Old man river, he just keeps rolling along, oh yes he does.
You and me, we sweat and toil, Our bodies all achin` and racked with pain, now listen! Lift that bar, you`d better, tote that bail, And if ya` get a little drunk, You`ll land in jail.
I`m so weary, and sick of tryin`, I`m tired of livin`, but afraid of dyin`. That, that god-darn` old river, he just keeps rolling along. Keep on rollin` along.
Keep on rollin` along. Old man river don`t you stop your way. Keep on runnin` from the north, the south, the east or west, you gotta roll it ...
