Ol' Man River - Tony Mason-Cox/Serge Ermoll[00:00:00]
Near girls all work on the Mississippi[00:00:15]
Near girls all work while a white band plays[00:00:19]
Pulling those boats from the dawn till sunset[00:00:23]
Getting no rest till the judgment day[00:00:27]
Don't look up don't look down[00:00:34]
Don't you dare make the white boss frown[00:00:38]
Bend your knees bow your head[00:00:42]
Keep on working until you're dead[00:00:47]
Let me go away from the Mississippi[00:00:55]
Let me go away from the white man boss[00:00:59]
Show me the stream that they called Jordan[00:01:03]
That's the old stream that I long to cross[00:01:07]
Ol' man river that ol' man river[00:01:15]
He must know something[00:01:19]
He don't say nothing[00:01:21]
He just keeps rolling[00:01:24]
He keeps on rolling along[00:01:26]
He don't plant tatters[00:01:32]
He don't plant cotton[00:01:34]
And then that plants them[00:01:36]
Is soon forgotten[00:01:38]
But ol' man river[00:01:41]
He just keeps rolling along[00:01:43]
You and me we sweat and strain[00:01:49]
Body all aching and racked with pain[00:01:53]
Tote that barge lift that bail[00:01:58]
You get a little drunk[00:02:02]
And you land in jail[00:02:03]
I get weary and sick of trying[00:02:10]
I'm tired of living[00:02:14]
I'm scared of dying[00:02:17]
But ol' man river[00:02:19]
He just keeps rolling along[00:02:21]
