Lyrics
There’s an old man called the Mississippi Now that’s the old man that I love to be Oh what does he care if the world's got troubles? What does he care if the land’s not free? Ol' man river That ol' man river Well he must know somethin' But he don't say nothin' He keeps on rollin' He just keeps rollin' along And he don’t plant taters And he don't plant cotton Yes and them that plants 'em is soon forgotten He keeps on rollin’ He just keeps rollin' along Oh, you and me, we’re just the same Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain Tote that barge, lift that bale You get a little drunk and you land in jail I get weary And sick of tryin' Till I’m tired of livin' And I’m scared of dyin' But ol' man river, keeps on rollin’ That ol' man river, he just keeps on rollin’ I said that ol' man river, keeps on rollin’ along Ol’ man river
