Ol' Man River

Ol' Man River - Ames Brothers

Ol' Man River that Ol' Man River

He must know somethin' but don't say nothin'

He just keeps rollin' he keeps on rollin' along

He don't plant taters and he don't plant cotton

And them what plants 'em is soon forgotten

But Ol' Man River he just keeps rollin' along

You and me we sweat and strain

Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain

Tote that barge and lift that bale

Ya get a little drunk and ya lands in ja-ail

I gets weary and sick of tryin'

I'm tired of livin' and feared of dyin'

And Ol' Man River he just keeps rollin' along
