Ol' Man River - Della Reese

Ol' man river

That ol' man river

He must know sumpin'

But he don't say nuthin'

He just keeps rollin' rollin' along

He don' plant taters

He don't plant cotton

And dem that plants 'em

Is preety soon forgotten

But ol' man river

He jes keeps rollin' along

You and me we sweat and strain

Bodies all achin' and racket wid pain

Tote that barge

Lift that 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 just keeps rolling' along

Ol' man river

That ol' man river

He must know sumpin'

But he don't say nuthin'

He just keeps rollin' rollin' along

Well he don' plant taters

He don't plant cotton

And all them box plants 'em

But preety soon forgotten

But ol' man river

He just keeps rollin' along

You and me we sweat we strain

Bodies all achin' and racket wid pain

You tote that barge

Lift that bale

Let's get a drunk

Spend you land in jail

Say I gets weary

Sick of tryin'

I'm tired of livin'

But I'm feared of dyin'

And ol' man river

He's just keeps rollin' along

Ol' man river

He's just keeps rollin'

Ol' man river

He's just keeps rollin' along
