Frank Sinatra - Ol' Man River Lyrics

Writer(s): hammerstein/kern

Here we all work long the mississippi

Here we all work while the white folk play

Pullin them boats from the dawn till sunset

Gettin no rest till the judgment day

Dont look up and dont look down

You dont das make the boss man frown

Bend your knees and bow your head

And pull that rope until your dead

Let me go way from the mississippi

Let me go way from the white man boss

Show me that stream called the river jordan

Thats the old stream that I long to cross.

Ol man river, that ol man river

He dont say nothin, but he must know somethin

He just keeps rollin, he keeps on rollin along

He dont plant tatters, and he dont plant cotton

And them what plants em, are soon forgotten

But ol man river, just keeps rollin along

You and me, we sweat and strain

Body all achin and racked with pain

Tote that barge and lift that bail

You get a little drunk and you lands in jail

I gets weary, and sick of trying

Im tired of livin, but Im scared of dyin

But ol man river, he just keeps rolin along
