Ol' man river, that ol' man river
He must know something, but he don't say nothing
Oh no, he just keeps rollin'
He keeps on rollin' along, rollin' along

Well, he don' plant taters, oh no, he don't plant cotton
And them that plants 'em they are soon forgotten
But ol' man river
He just keeps rollin' along, rollin' along

You and me, we sweat, sweat and strain
Our body all are aching and they are wracked with pain
You tote that barge! You lift that bale!
And if you get a little bit drunk you know, you gonna land in the jail

I get weary, sick all of trying
Tired of living but afraid of dying
Wow, ol' man river
He just keeps rollin' along, rollin' along
Yeh, ol' man river

I said now, and you and me, we sweat, we sweat, we sweat and we strain
And our body all are aching and they are wracked with pain
You tote that barge! Oh well, you better lift that bale!
And if you get a little bit drunk don't you know, you gonna land in the jail

I get weary, sick all of trying
I'm tired of living but I'm afraid of dying
Wow, ol' man river
He just keeps rollin' along, rollin' along
Yeh, ol' man river
He just keeps rollin' along, rollin' along...
