歌曲名 Ol Man River (Album Version (Stereo)) 歌手名 The Temptations

Here we all work on the Mississippi

Here we all work while the rich boys play

Getting no rest from the dawn till 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 heads

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

Ol' Man River that Ol' Man River

He don't say nothing

But he must know something

Ol' 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 and then what plants 'em

All know is soon forgotten

But Ol' Man River

He just keeps rolling along

You you and me

You know sometimes

We have to 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

You get a little drunk

And you land in ja-ail

I get weary and so sick of trying

I'm tired of living and fraid of dying

But Ol' Man River he just keeps rolling

Along em
