Ol' Man River (From 'Showboat')
Lyricist：Oscar Ii Hammerstein, Jerome David Kern
There's an ol' man called De Mississippi
That's the ol' man that I'd like to be
What does he care if the world's got troubles
What does he care if the land ain't free
Ol' man river, that ol' man river
He must know somepin', but 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 what plants 'em is soon forgotten

But ol' man river he just keeps rollin' along
You and me, we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge lift that bale
Get a little drunk and you lands in jail
I gets weary and sick of tryin'
I'm tired of livin', and scared of dyin'
But ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along
