Ol' Man River (From "Show Boat") - William Warfield

Old Man River

That Old Man River

He must know something

But don't say nothing

He just keeps rolling

He keeps on rolling along

He don't plant taters

He don't plant cotton

And them what plants

'Em is soon forgotten

But Old Man River

He just keeps rolling along

You and me

We sweat and strain

Bodies all aching and

Wracked with pain

Tote that barge and lift that bale

Get a little drunk and

You land in jail

I get weary and sick of trying

I'm tired of living

I'm scared of dying

And Old Man River

He just keeps rolling along
