Ol' Man River

Ol' Man River - The New World Show Orchestra/The Mike Sammes Singers/Valerie Masters

L' man river that ol' man river

He must know something but he don't say nothing

He just keeps rolling keeps on rolling along

He don't plant tatters and he don't plant cotton

And them that plants 'em are soon forgotten

But ol' man river just keeps rolling along

You and me we sweat and strain

Bodies all aching and racked with pain

Tote that barge and lift that bail

You get a little drunk and you lands In jail

I gets weary and sick of trying

I'm tired of living feared of dying

And ol' man river he just keeps rolling

L' man river that ol' man river

He must know something but he don't say nothing

He just keeps rolling keeps on rolling along

He don't plant tatters and he don't plant cotton

And them that plants 'em are soon forgotten

But ol' man river just keeps rolling along

You and me we sweat and strain

Bodies all aching and racked with pain

Tote that barge and lift that bail

You get a little drunk and you lands In jail

I gets weary and sick of trying

I'm tired of living feared of dying

And ol' man river he just keeps rolling

L' man river that ol' man river

He must know something but he don't say nothing

He just keeps rolling keeps on rolling along

He don't plant tatters and he don't plant cotton

And them that plants 'em are soon forgotten

But ol' man river just keeps rolling along

You and me we sweat and strain

Bodies all aching and racked with pain

Tote that barge and lift that bail

You get a little drunk and you lands In jail

I gets weary and sick of trying

I'm tired of living feared of dying

And ol' man river he just keeps rolling

Just keeps rolling day after day

Just keeps rolling along
