Ol Man River - Ingrid Peters

Dere's an ol' man called de Mississippi

Dat's de ol' man where I'd like to be

What does he care if is folks ain't happy

What does he care if is folks ain't free

Ol' man river

Dat ol' man river

He must know sumpin

But don't say nuthin'

He keeps on rollin'

Just he keeps on rollin' along

He don't plant taters

He don't plant cotton

An' dem dat plants'em

Is soon forgotten

But ol' man river

He keeps on rollin' along

You and me we sweat an' strain

Body all achin' an' racket wid pain

Tote dat barge

Life dat bale

Git a little drunk

And you land in jail

Ah gits weary

And sick of tryin'

Ah'm tired of livin'

And skeered of dyin'

But ol' man river

He keeps on rolling' along

But ol' man river

He keeps on rolling' along
