Align:    
  • Written by - Jerome Kern & Oscar Hammerstein II
  • Ol' man river, that ol' man river
  • He must know something, but he don't say nothing
  • That ol' man river, he just keep rollin' along
  • He don't plant 'taters
  • He don't plant cotton
  • Cause them that plants them is soon forgotten
  • And ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along
  • Cause 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
  • But I get weary and sick of tryin'
  • Cause I'm tired of livin'
  • That ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along
  • 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
  • But I get weary and sick of tryin'
  • Cause I'm tired of livin'
  • But I'm scared of dyin'
  • That ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along
  • 1927 T.B. Harms Company
