Ol' Man River

Composer:Jerome Kern
Lyricist:Oscar Hammerstein II

Here We All Worked Along The Mississippi,
Here We All Worked While The Rick Folk Played.
Pulling 'Emboats From The Dawn Till Sunset.
Getting No Rest Till The Judgement Day.

Don't Look Up And Don't Look Down,
You Don't Dares Make The Boss-Man Frown.
Bend Your Knees And Bow Your Head,
And Pull That Rope Until You're Dead.

Let Me Go Away From The Mississippi,
Let Me Go Away From The White Man Boss.
Show Me That Stream,
Call Her The River Jordan.
That's The Old Stream That I Long To Cross.

Ol' Man River, That Old Man River.
He Don't Say Nothing.
But He Must Know Something.

He Just Keeps Rolling,
He Keeps On Rolling Along.

He Don't Plant Cotton,
And He Don't Plant 'Tatoes.
And Them What Plants Them Are Soon Forgotten.
But Ol' Man River Just Keeps Rolling Along.

You And Me,
We Sweat And Strain,
Body All Taken And Wrecked With Pain,
Tow That Barge, And Lift That Bale,
You Get A Little Drunk
And You Lands In Jail.

I Get Weary And Sick Of Trying.
I'm Tired Of Living.
But I'm Fear Of Dying.
And Ol' Man River,
He Keeps Rolling Along.
