Oscar Hammerstein II - Old Man River lyrics

Ol' man river That ol' man river He must know somethin' But he don't say nothin' That ol' man river he just keeps rollin' along He don't plant taters He don't plant cotton Them that plants 'em is soon forgotten But ol' man river He just keeps rollin' along You and me We sweat and strain Body all achin' And wracked with pain Tote that barge Lift that bale Get a little drunk And you land in jail And I get weary And sick of tryin' I'm tired of livin' But I'm scared of dyin' But ol' man river He just keeps rollin' along You and me We sweat and strain Body all achin' And wracked with pain Tote that barge Lift that bale Get a little drunk And you land in jail And I get weary And sick of tryin' I'm tired of livin' But I'm so scared of dyin' But ol' man river He just keeps rollin' along
