Ol' Man River (老人河) - Paul Robeson (罗伯逊)/Lawrence Brown[00:00:00]

Darkies all work on the Mississippi[00:00:07]

Darkies all work while the white folks play[00:00:10]

Pullin' dose boats from the dawn till the sunset[00:00:14]

Gettin' no rest till the judgment day[00:00:17]

Don't look up and don't look down[00:00:23]

You don't dare make the rich boss frown[00:00:26]

Bend your knees and bow your head[00:00:29]

And tote that barge until you're dead[00:00:32]

Let me go away from the Mississippi[00:00:38]

Let me go away from the wise man boss[00:00:41]

Show me that stream called the River of Jordan[00:00:45]

That's the old stream that I long to cross[00:00:50]

Old Man River[00:01:03]

That Old Man River[00:01:05]

He doesn't say nothin' he must know somethin'[00:01:08]

He just keeps rollin'[00:01:13]

He keeps on rollin'[00:01:15]

A long ol' river forever keeps rollin' on[00:01:18]

He don't plant taters[00:01:23]

He don't plant cotton[00:01:25]

And then they plant 'em[00:01:27]

Is soon forgotten[00:01:30]

But Ol' Man River[00:01:32]

He just keeps rollin'[00:01:35]

A long ol' river keeps hearing that song[00:01:37]

You and me we sweat and strain[00:01:42]

Body all achin' and racked with pain[00:01:46]

Tote that barge lift that bale[00:01:50]

You gets a little drunk[00:01:54]

And you land in jail[00:01:56]

I get weary and sick of tryin'[00:02:04]

I'm tired of livin' and scared of dyin'[00:02:09]

But Ol' Man River he just keeps rollin' along[00:02:15]
