Ol' Man River - Freddy Quinn

Colored folks work on de mississippi

Colored folks work while de white folks play

Pulling dose boats from de dawn to sunset

Gitting no rest till de judgement day

Don't look up

An' don't look down

You don't dast make

De white boss frown

Bend your knees

An'bow your head

An' pull date rope

Until you' dead

Let me go away from the mississippi

Let me go away from de white man boss

Show me dat stream called de river jordan

Dat's de ol' stream dat I long to cross

O' man river

Dat ol' man river

He mus'know sumping

But don't say nothing

He jes' keeps rolling

He keeps on rolling along

He don't plant tater

He don't plant cotton

An' dem dat plants 'em

Is soon forgotten

But ol' man river

He jes' keeps rolling along

You an' me we sweat an' strain

Body all achin an' racked wid pain

Tote dat barge

Lif' dat bale

Git a little drunk

An' you land in jail

Ah gits weary

An' sick of trying

Ah'm tired of living

An' skeered of dying

But ol' man river

He jes'keeps rolling along
