Ol' Man River

Ol' Man River (Original Mix) - Jay Hawkins

Ol' man river dat Ol' man river

He must know sumping

They don't say nothing

Will keeps on rolling

Rolling and rolling along

Don't plant tators

He don't plant cotton

An dem that plants 'em

Is soon forgotten

Will jes keeps rolling

It keeps on rolling along

You and me we sweat and strain

Body all aching and racket wid pain

Tote dat barge life dat bale

You git a little drunk and you land in jail

Ah gits weary and sick of trying

I'm feared of living and skeered of dying

But Ol' man river

He jes keeps rolling along

Ol' man river Ol' man river

He must know sumping

He don't say nothing

He jes keeps rolling rolling

Rolling rolling rolling rolling along

He don't plant tater he don't plant cotton

And dem dat plants 'em

Is soon forgotten

Will

He jes keeps rolling

Rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling along

You and me we sweat and strain

Bodys all achin' and racked wid pain

Tote dat barge oh life dat bale

You git a little drunk and you land in jail

Ah git weary and sick of trying

Ah m tired of living and skeered of dying

But Ol' man river

He jes keeps rolling along
