Ol' Man River - Ray Charles[00:00:00]

Here we all work on the mississippi[00:00:10]

Here we all work while the white folk play[00:00:15]

Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset[00:00:22]

Gettin' no rest till the judgment day[00:00:28]

Don't look up and don't look down[00:00:35]

You don't dare make a white man frown[00:00:39]

Bend your knees and bow your head[00:00:44]

And pull that rope until you're dead[00:00:48]

Let me go 'way from the mississippi[00:00:57]

Let me go 'way from the white man boss[00:01:03]

Show me that stream called the river jordan[00:01:10]

That's the old stream that I long to cross[00:01:18]

I know that ol' man river that ol' man river[00:01:32]

He must know somethin' the man don't say nothin'[00:01:52]

I know he just keep on rollin'[00:02:04]

I want you to know he keeps on rollin' along[00:02:13]

He don't plant tatters he don't plant cotton[00:02:31]

And them folk they plant 'em[00:02:46]

I want you to know they're soon forgotten[00:02:50]

But ol' man river somehow he just keep on rollin' rollin' along[00:02:58]

You and me we got to sweat and strain[00:03:25]

Body's all achin' and racked with pain[00:03:40]

Tote that barge somebody said lift that bail[00:03:55]

You drink a little scotch I want you to know you gonna land in jail[00:04:10]

You know I get weary and so sick of trying[00:04:24]

I'm tired of livin' but I'm scared I'm scared of dyin'[00:04:41]

But that ol' man and the river I say he just[00:04:53]

The man just keep rollin' on long[00:05:05]
