Ol' Man River Lyrics - Oscar Peterson

Ol' man river 

That ol' man river 

He don't say nothing 

But he must know something 

Cause he just keeps rolling 

He keeps rolling along 

Rollin' along 

He don't plant tators 

He don't plant cotton 

Them that plants 'em is soon forgotten 

But ol' man river 

He keeps rolling along 

You and me 

We sweat and strain 

Body all aching 

And wracked with pain 

Tote that barge 

Lift that bale 

Get a little drunk 

And you land in jail 

I gets weary 

Sick of trying 

I'm tired of living 

Feared of dying 

But ol' man river 

He's rolling along
