Ol' Man River

Ol' Man River - Earl Grant

Ol' Man River Ol' Man River

Don't know nothin' and don't say nothin'

He just keeps rollin'

He keeps on rollin' along

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

And then that plants them is soon forgotten

But Ol' Man River

He just keeps on rollin' along

You and me we sweat and sweat and strain

Body all achin' and racked and racked with pain

Tote that barge lift that bale

You get a little drunk and you land you land

You land in jail

I gets weary and sick of tryin'

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

But Ol' Man River

He just keeps rollin' along

You and me we sweat and sweat and sweat and strain

Body all achin' and racked and racked racked with pain

Tote that barge lift that bale

You get a little drunk and you land you land

You land in jail

I gets weary and sick of tryin'

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

But Ol' Man River

He just keeps rollin' along

One more time boy

I said Ol' Man River

He just keeps rollin' along
