ol' man river - fred waring & the pennsylvanians lyrics

Loading...

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

here we all work on the mississippi
here we all work while the other folks play
pullin’ those boats from the dawn to sunset
gettin’ no rest till the judgment day

don’t look up and don’t look down
you don’t dare make the big boss frown
bend your knees and bow your head
and pull that rope until you’re dead

let me go away from the mississippi
let me go away from the mean, mean boss
show me that stream called the river jordan
that’s the old 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 them that plants ’em are soon forgotten
but, ol’ man river
he just keeps rollin’ along
(what a fine river, lord)

you and me, we sweat and strain
body all achin’ and wracked with pain
tote that barge, lift that bale
get a little drunk and you land in jail

i gets weary and sick of tryin’
and tired of livin’ and scared of dyin’
but, ol’ man river
he just keeps rollin’ along
