Ol' Man River (from "Show Boat") - Roger Whittaker

作词：Jerome Kern/Hammerstein

作曲：Jerome Kern/Hammerstein

Let me go away from the Mississippi

Let me go away from

the white man boss

Show me that stream

called the river Jordan

That's the ol' stream

that I long to cross

Ol' Man River that Ol' Man River

He must know somethin'

But don't say nothin'

He just keeps rollin'

He keeps on rollin' along

He don't plant taters

he don't plant cotton

And then that plants them

is soon forgotten

But Ol' Man River

He just keeps rollin' along

You and me we sweat and strain

Body all achin' and racked with pain

Tote that barge lift that bale

You get a little drunk and you

land in jail

I get weary and sick of tryin'

I'm tired of livin' and scared of dyin'

But Ol' Man River

He just keeps rollin' along

You and me we sweat and strain

Body all achin' and racked with pain

Tote that barge lift that bale

You get a little drunk and you

land in jail

I get weary and sick of tryin'

I'm tired of livin' and scared of dyin'

But Ol' Man River

He just keeps rollin' along
