Karaoke Track: Ol Man River by Show Boat (Sunfly)

Coloured folks work
on de Mississippi

Coloured folks work
while de white folks play

Pullin&#39; dose boats from
de dawn to sunset

getting no rest til&#39; de
judgement day

Don&#39;t look up an&#39;
don&#39;t look down

you don&#39;t dast make
de white boss frown

Bend yo&#39; knees
an&#39; bow your head

an&#39; pull dat rope
until you&#39;re dead

Let me go way
from de Mississippi

let me go way
from de white man boss

Show me dat stream
call&#39;d de River Jordan

dat&#39;s de ol&#39; stream
dat I long to cross

OI&#39; man river
dat ol&#39; man river

He mus&#39; know sumpin&#39;
but don&#39;t say nuthin&#39;

he jus&#39; keeps rollin&#39;
he keeps on rollin&#39; a long

He don&#39;t plant taters
he don&#39;t plant cotton

an&#39;dem dat plants &#39;em
is soon forgotten

But ol&#39; man river
he jus&#39; keeps rollin&#39; a long

you an&#39; me we sweat
an&#39; strain

body all achin&#39; an&#39;
racked wid pain

Tote dat barge!
Lift dat bale!

Git a little drunk
an you land in jail

Ah gits weary
an&#39; sick of tryin&#39;

Ah&#39;m tired of livin&#39; an&#39;
skeered of dyin&#39;

But ol&#39; man river
he jus&#39; keeps rollin
a long!
