Dere's an ol' man called de Mississippi
Dat's de ol' man dat I'd wants to be
What does he care If de world's got troubles
What does he care If de land ain't free
Ol' man river
Dat ol' man river
He mus' know something
But don't say nothing
He just keeps rollin'
He keeps on rollin' along
He don' plant taters
He don't plant cotton
An' dem dat plants'em
Is soon forgotten
But ol'man river
He just keeps rollin' along
You and me we sweat an' strain
Body all achin' an' rack'd wid pain
Tote dat barge
Lif' dat bale
Git a little drunk
An' you land In jail
Ah gits weary
An' sick of tryin'
Ah'm tired of livin'
An' sheered of dyin'
But ol' man river
He just keeps rolling' along
