Ol' NIan River

From 'Showbom'

Words and Mums by

known Kcrn 3c Oscar Hammmvdn II

Dere's an ol' man
Called de

Mississippi

Dat's de ol' man
Dat I long to be

What does he care,
If de world's,

Got troubles?

What does he care,
If de land,

Ain't free...?

or man river
Dat ol' man river

He mus' know
Sumpin'

But he don't say
Nothin'

He jes' keeps
Rollin'

He keeps on
Rollin' along...

He don't
Plant taters

And he don't
Plant cotton

An' dem dat lants
Em is soon

Forgotten

But ol' man river
He jes' keeps

Rollin' along...

You an' me, we
Sweat an' strain

Bodys' all achin'
An' racked
Wid pain

Tote date barge!
Lift dat bale!

Git a little drunk
An' you land
In jail...

l gits weary
An' sick of tryin'

I'm tired of livin'
An' skeered

0f dyin'

But ol' man river
He jes' keeps

Rollin' along...!
