Ol' man river

Ol' Man River - Frank Sinatra (弗蘭克·辛納屈)

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

Ya don't dast make the white boss

Frown

Bend your knees and bow your head

And pull that rope until you're 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 must know somepin' but he

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 jest 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 so sick of tryin'

I'm tired of livin' but I'm feared

Of dyin'

And Ol' Man River he just keeps

Rollin' along
