Testo Old man river

Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River

He don't say nothin', but he must know somethin'

He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along


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

And them what plants 'em, are soon forgotten

But Ol' Man River, just keeps rollin' along



You and me, we sweat and strain

Body all achin' 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 livin', but I'm scared of dyin'

But Ol' Man River, he just keeps rolin' along

But Ol' Man River, he just keeps rolin' along
