Ol' Man River (From 'Showboat')
Lyricist:Oscar Ii Hammerstein, Jerome David Kern
There's an ol' man called De Mississippi That's the ol' man that I'd like to be What does he care if the world's got troubles What does he care if the land ain't free
Ol' man river, that ol' man river He must know somepin', but 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But ol' man river he just keeps rollin' along
You and me, we sweat and strain Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain Tote that barge lift that bale Get a little drunk and you lands 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
