• Ol' Man River

Dere's an ol' man called the Mississippi
Dat's de ol' man dat I want to be!
What does he care if the world's got troubles?
What does he care if the land is free?

Ol' man river,
That ol' man river
He mus'know sumpin'
But don't say nuthin',
He jes'keeps rollin'
He keeps on rollin' along.

He don' plant taters,
He don't plant cotton,
An' dem that plants'em
Is soon forgotten,
But ol'man river,
He jes keeps rollin'along.

You an' me, we sweat an' strain,
Body all achin' an' rack wid pain,
Tote dat barge!
An' Lif' dat bale!
Git a little drunk
An' you land in jail.

Ah gits weary
An' sick of tryin'
Ah'm tired of livin'
An' skeered of dyin',
But ol' man river,
He jes'keeps rolling' along.
