Ol' Man River

Ol' Man River - Sam Cooke

Rolling along rolling along rolling along

Hmm old man river that old man river

He don't say nothing but he must know something

For old man river he just keeps rolling along

Hmm he don't plant taters he don't pick cotton

And them that plants them they're soon forgotten

While old man river he just keeps rolling along

Hmm you and me we sweat and strain

Body all aching and racked with pain

Towed that bar gem lift the bail

Get a little drunk and you land in jail

I get weary and sick of trying

I'm tired of living but afraid of dying

While old man river he just keeps rolling along

Rolling along

Rolling along

Rolling along

You and me sweat and strain

Body all aching and racked with pain

Towed that bar gem lift the bail

Get a little drunk and you land in jail

I get weary and sick of trying

I'm tired of living but afraid of dying

While old man river he just keeps rolling along

Rolling along

Rolling along

Rolling along
