歌曲名 Ol' Man River

歌手名 James Taylor

There's an old man called the Mississippi

Now that's the old man that I love to be

Oh what does he care if the world's got troubles

What does he care if the land's not free

Ol' man river

That ol' man river

Well he must know something

But he don't say nothing

He keeps on rolling

He just keeps rolling along

And he don't plant taters

And he don't plant cotton

Yes and them that plants 'em is soon forgotten

He keeps on rolling

He just keeps rolling along

Oh you and me we're just the same

Bodies all aching and wracked with pain

Tote that barge lift that bale

You get a little drunk and you land in jail

I get weary

And sick of trying

Till I'm tired of living

And I'm scared of dying

But ol' man river keeps on rolling

That ol' man river he just keeps on rolling

I said that ol' man river keeps on rolling along

Ol' man river
