作词：佚名

作曲：Jerome Kern+Oscar Hammerstein Ii

Here we all work 'long the Mississippi

Here we all work while the white boys play

Getting no rest from the dawn till the sunset

Getting no rest till the judgment day

You don't look up you don't look down

You don't dare make the rich boss frown

Bend your knees and bow your head

And tote that barge until you're dead

Let me go away from the Mississippi

Let me go away from the rich man boss

Show me that stream called the River of Jordan

That's the old stream that I long to cross

Old Man River Old Man River

He don't say nothing he must know something

Old Man River he just keeps rolling along

You know you know he don't plant taters

And we all know the man don't plant no cotton

And then then they plant 'em

Oh the Lord knows they are soon forgotten

But Old Man River he just keeps rolling along

You you and me you know sometimes

We have to sweat sweat and strain

Our bodies our bodies are all aching

And wracked with a whole lot of pain

Tote that barge lift that bale

And you land in jail

I gets weary women and so sick of trying

I'm tired of living and afraid of dying

But Old Man River he just keeps rolling along

Old Man River he just keeps rolling along
