Old Man River Lyrics - Singles - Paul Robeson

Ol' man river, 

Dat ol' man river 

He mus'know sumpin' 

But don't say nuthin', 

He jes'keeps rollin' 

He keeps on rollin' along. 

He don' plant taters/tators, 

He don't plant cotton, 

An' dem dat plants'em 

is soon forgotten, 

But ol'man river, 

He jes keeps rollin'along. 

You an'me, we sweat an' strain, 

Body all achin' an' racket wid pain, 

Tote dat barge! 

Lif' dat bale! 

Git a little drunk 

An' you land in jail.

Ah gits weary 

An' sick of tryin' 

Ah'm tired of livin' 

An' skeered of dyin', 

But ol' man river, 

He jes'keeps rolling' along. 

Don't look up 

An' don't look down, 

You don' dast make 

De white boss frown. 

Bend your knees 

An'bow your head, 

An' pull date rope 

Until you' dead.) 

Let me go 'way from the Mississippi, 

Let me go 'way from de white man boss; 

Show me dat stream called de river Jordan, 

Dat's de ol' stream dat I long to cross.

O' man river, 

Dat ol' man river,

But don't say nuthin' 

He jes' keeps rollin'

Long ol' river forever keeps rollin' on...
