Ol' Man River (from "Showboat") - Frank Sinatra[00:00:01]
Written by:Oscar Ii Hammerstein/Jerome Kern[00:00:03]
Here we all work 'long the Mississippi[00:00:16]
Here we all work while the white folk play[00:00:22]
Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset[00:00:27]
Gettin' no rest till the judgment day[00:00:32]
Don't look up and don't look down[00:00:37]
Ya don't dast make the white boss frown[00:00:41]
Bend your knees and bow your head[00:00:47]
And pull that rope until you're dead[00:00:53]
Let me go 'way from the Mississippi[00:01:06]
Let me go 'way from the white man boss[00:01:11]
Show me that stream called the River Jordan[00:01:16]
That's the old stream that I long to cross[00:01:23]
Ol' Man River that Ol' Man River[00:01:43]
He must know somethin' but he don't say nothin'[00:01:52]
He just keeps rollin' he keeps on rollin' along[00:02:00]
He don't plant taters and he don't plant cotton[00:02:17]
And them what plants 'em is soon forgotten[00:02:26]
But Ol' Man River jest keeps rollin' along[00:02:33]
You and me we sweat and strain[00:02:49]
Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain[00:02:54]
Tote that barge and lift that bale[00:02:58]
Ya get a little drunk then ya lands in jail[00:03:03]
I gets weary and so sick of tryin'[00:03:20]
I'm tired of livin' but I'm feared of dyin'[00:03:30]
And Ol' Man River he just keeps rollin' along[00:03:38]
