Lyrics Old Man River - Ruth Brown
Here
we
all
work
'long
the
Mississippi
Here
we
all
work
while
the
white
folk
play
Pulling'
them
boats
from
the
dawn
till
sunset
Getting
no
rest
till
the
judgment
day
Don't
look
up
and
don't
look
down
You
don't
dare
make
the
white
boss
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
old
stream
that
I
long
to
cross
Old
Man
River,
that
Old
Man
River
He
must
know
something,
but
he
don't
say
nothing
He
just
keeps
rolling,
he
keeps
on
rolling
along
He
don't
plant
taters,
and
he
don't
plant
cotton
And
them
what
plants
'em
is
soon
forgotten
But
Old
Man
River,
jest
keeps
rolling
along
You
and
me,
we
sweat
and
strain
Bodies
all
aching
and
wracked
with
pain
Tote
that
barge
and
lift
that
bale
You
get
a
little
drunk
and
you
land
in
jail
I
get
weary
and
so
sick
of
trying
I'm
tired
of
living,
but
I'm
feared
of
dying
And
Old
Man
River,
he
just
keeps
rolling
along
