ya get a little drunk and ya lands in ja-ail
ol man river
But ol man river, that ol man river, show me that stream called the river jordan
And them what plants em is soon forgotten, he just keeps rollin
He just keeps rollin along, but he don t say nothin, but i m feared of dyin
Don t look up and don t look down, but i m feared of dyin
That ol man river, he just keeps rollin along
But i m feared of dyin, he don t plant taters
but i m feared of dyin
Here we all work while the white folk play, but i m feared of dyin, don t look up and don t look down
Jest keeps rollin along, show me that stream called the river jordan River, that s the old stream that i long to cross
here we all work while the white folk play
Ya don t dast make the white boss frown, and he don t plant cotton Ol', here we all work long the mississippi
He don t plant taters, show me that stream called the river jordan, i gets weary and so sick of tryin
Pullin them boats from the dawn till sunset, gettin no rest till the judgment day
Ol man river, tote that barge and lift that bale, bodies all achin and wracked with pain
He must know somepin, jest keeps rollin along, and pull that rope until you re dead
I m tired of livin, he just keeps rollin along, show me that stream called the river jordan
I m tired of livin, and them what plants em is soon forgotten, bodies all achin and wracked with pain
I gets weary and so sick of tryin, tote that barge and lift that bale
That ol man river, tote that barge and lift that bale Ol', don t look up and don t look down
We sweat and strain, he just keeps rollin River, he keeps on rollin along
I gets weary and so sick of tryin, bend your knees and bow your head, we sweat and strain
Ol man river, he just keeps rollin along
Show me that stream called the river jordan, and them what plants em is soon forgotten
That s the old stream that i long to cross, he must know somepin River, ol man river
Show me that stream called the river jordan, here we all work while the white folk play Robeson, here we all work long the mississippi
jest keeps rollin along
Ya don t dast make the white boss frown, and pull that rope until you re dead
But i m feared of dyin, ol man river, but i m feared of dyin
Bodies all achin and wracked with pain, tote that barge and lift that bale
We sweat and strain, he don t plant taters
ya get a little drunk and ya lands in ja-ail
Here we all work while the white folk play, that ol man river Paul, but i m feared of dyin
here we all work long the mississippi
Don t look up and don t look down, and them what plants em is soon forgotten
and them what plants em is soon forgotten
He just keeps rollin, gettin no rest till the judgment day
Bodies all achin and wracked with pain, and ol man river, tote that barge and lift that bale
He don t plant taters, let me go way from the white man boss River, let me go way from the mississippi
And pull that rope until you re dead, he don t plant taters Ol', bend your knees and bow your head
bodies all achin and wracked with pain
i m tired of livin
ya don t dast make the white boss frown
Ol man river, and ol man river
He don t plant taters, let me go way from the mississippi, and he don t plant cotton
Let me go way from the mississippi, but ol man river
Pullin them boats from the dawn till sunset, and pull that rope until you re dead Paul, ya get a little drunk and ya lands in ja-ail
He keeps on rollin along, but he don t say nothin
ol man river
