Font:      
Align:    
  • 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
  • Don't look up and don't look down
  • You
  • don't 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
  • That's the old stream that I long to cross.
  • Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River
  • He don't say nothin', but he must know somethin'
  • He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along
  • He
  • don't plant tatters, and he don't 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
  • I'm tired of livin', but I'm scared of dyin'
  • But Ol' Man River, he just keeps
