Lyrics Old Man River - Bobby Rydell

Ol' man river, that ol' man river
Don't say nothin', must know somethin'
Ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along

Now, he don't plant taters, don't plant cotton
Them that plants 'em are soon forgotten
Ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along

Now, you and me, we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin' and racked with pain
Tote that barge, lift that bale
Get a little outta hand, you land in jail
I gets weary, so sick of tryin'
Tired of livin', 'fraid of dyin'
But ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along

Ol' man river, that ol' man river
Don't say nothin', must know somethin'
Ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along

Now, he don't plant taters, don't plant cotton
Them that plants 'em are soon forgotten
Ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along

Now, you and me, we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin' and racked with pain
Tote that barge, lift that bale
Get a little outta hand, you land in jail
I gets weary, so sick of tryin'
Tired of livin', 'fraid of dyin'
But ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along
