Ol Man River歌词

Here we all work 'long the Mississippi
Here we all work while the white folk play
Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset
Gettin' no rest till the judgment day
Don't look up and don't look down

Ya don't dast make the white boss frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And pull that rope until you're dead
Let me go 'way from the Mississippi
Let me go 'way from the white man boss

Show me that stream called the River Jordan
That's the old stream that I long to cross
Ol' Man River that Ol' Man River
He don't say nothin' but he must know somethin'
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 are soon forgotten
But Ol' Man River jest keeps rollin' along
You and me we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain

Tote that barge and lift that bale
Ya get a little drunk then ya lands in jail
Gets weary and sick of tryin'
I'm tired of livin' but I'm scared of dyin'
And Ol' Man River he just keeps rollin' along
