Ol' Man River

Ol' Man River - Frank Sinatra (弗兰克·辛纳屈)

Here we all work along the mississippi

Here we all work while the white folk play

Pulling them boats from the dawn till sunset

Getting 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 away from the Mississippi

Let me go away 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 must know somethin but

He don't say nothing

He just keeps rolling he keeps on rolling 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 rolling along

You and me we sweat and strain

Body all aching 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 living but I'm sike of dying

But Ol' man river he just keeps roling along
