Ol' Man River

Ol' Man River - Howard Keel

Know something

But don't say nothing

He just keeps rolling

He keeps on rolling along

Why you don't plant taters

And don't plant cotton

And them that plants 'em

Are soon forgotten

But old man river

He just keeps on rolling along

Oh you and me we sweat and strain

Body all achin' and racked with pain

Tote that barge

Lift that bale

Get a little drunk

And you land in jail

I gets weary

And sick of tryin'

I'm tired of livin'

And scared of dyin'

But old man river

He just keeps rolling along
