Frank Sinatra - Ol' Man River Lyrics

Lyrics Ol' Man River - Frank Sinatra



Here we all work 'long the Mississippi
Here we all work while the white folk play
Pullin' them boats from the dawn 'til sunset
Gettin' no rest 'til the Judgement Day
Don't look up and don't look down
Ya don't darest make the boss man frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And pull that rope until you're dead
Let me go 'way from the Mississippi
Let me go 'way from the white-man boss
Show me that stream called the River Jordan
That's the ol' stream that I long to cross
Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River
He don't say nothin', but he must know somethin'
He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along
He don't plant taters and he don't plant cotton
And them what plants 'em are soon forgotten
But Ol' Man River just keeps rollin' along
You and me, we sweat and strain
Body all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge, lift that bale
Ya get a little drunk and ya lands in jail
I gets weary and sick of tryin'
I'm tired of livin', but I'm scared of dyin'
And Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' along
