Here we all work long the Mississippi
Here we all work while the white folk play
Pullin them boats from the dawn till sunset
Gettin no rest till the judgment day
Dont look up and dont look down
Ya dont dast make the white boss frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And pull that rope until youre 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
Thats the old stream that I long to cross
Ol Man River , that Ol Man River
He must know somethin , but he dont say nothin
He just keeps rollin , he keeps on rollin along
He dont plant taters , and he dont plant cotton
And them what plants em is soon forgotten
But Ol Man River , just keeps rollin along
You and me , we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin and wracked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bale
Ya get a little drunk and ya lands in jail
But I get weary and so sick of tryin
Im tired of livin , but Im feared of dyin
And Ol Man River , he just keeps rollin along
Here we all work while the white folk play
Pullin them boats from the dawn till sunset
Gettin no rest till the judgment day
Dont look up and dont look down
Ya dont dast make the white boss frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And pull that rope until youre 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
Thats the old stream that I long to cross
Ol Man River , that Ol Man River
He must know somethin , but he dont say nothin
He just keeps rollin , he keeps on rollin along
He dont plant taters , and he dont plant cotton
And them what plants em is soon forgotten
But Ol Man River , just keeps rollin along
You and me , we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin and wracked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bale
Ya get a little drunk and ya lands in jail
But I get weary and so sick of tryin
Im tired of livin , but Im feared of dyin
And Ol Man River , he just keeps rollin along
