OL' MAN RIVER
WRITERS OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN 11, JEROME KERN

Here we all work 'long the Mississippi 
Here we all work while the white boys play 
Gettin no rest 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 rich boss frown 
Bend your knees and bow your head 
And tote that barge until you're dead 
Let me go 'way from the Mississippi 
Let me go 'way from the rich man boss 
Show me that stream called the River Jordan 
That's the old stream that I long to cross  
Ol' Man River, Ol' Man River 
He don't say nothin, he must know somethin 
Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' along 
You know, you know he don't plant taters 
And we all know the man don't plant no cotton 
And then, and then what plants 'em, all know is soon forgotten 
But Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' along 
You, you and me 
You know sometimes we have to we have to sweat, sweat and strain 
Our bodies, our bodies are all achin' and wracked with a whole lot of pain 
Tote that barge, lift that bale, you get a little drunk 
And you land in ja-ail 
I get weary and so sick of tryin' 
I'm tired of livin', and fraid of dyin' 
But Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' a-
Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' along, ooh
