Ol' Man River

That old man river
That old man river
He don’t say nothing but he must know something
He’s old man river
He just keeps rolling along
Well I get weary and sick of trying
I’m tired of living and I’m feared of dying
He’s old man river and he just keeps rolling along
He don’t plant (po)tatoes
He don’t plant cotton
And them that plants them is son forgotten
He’s old man river and he just keeps rolling along
That old man river
That old man river
He don’t say nothing but he must know something
He’s old man river and he just keeps rolling along
