Old Man River Songtext
von Colm Wilkinson

Ol′ man river, that ol' man river
He must know somethin′, he don't say nothin'
He just keeps rollin′, he keeps on rollin′ along
He don't plant taters, he don′t plant cotton
And them that plant 'em are soon forgotten
But ol′ man river, he just keeps rollin' along

You and me, we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin′ and racked with pain
You tote that barge, you lift that pail
You get a little drunk and you land in jail


And I get weary and sick of tryin'
I'm tired of livin′, but scared of dyin′
But ol' man river, he just keeps rollin′ along

And you and me, we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin' and racked with pain
You tote that barge, you lift that pail
You get a little drunk and you land in jail

And I get weary and sick of tryin′
I'm tired of livin′, but I'm so scared of dyin'
But ol′ man river, he just keeps rollin′
He keeps on rollin', he just keeps rollin′ along
