Here we all work 'long the Mississippi Here we all work, while the white boys play Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset Gettin' no rest till the judgment day You don't look up, you don't look down You don't dare make the white boss frown Bend your knees and bow your head And pull that rope until you're dead Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River He must know somethin', but he don't say nothin' He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along He don't plant taters, and he don't plant cotton And them that plants 'em is soon forgotten But Ol' Man River, it just keeps rollin' along You and me, we sweat and strain Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain Tote that barge and lift that bale Get a little drunk and ya lands in jail I get weary and so sick of tryin' I'm tired of livin', but feared of dyin' And Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' along
