Old man river, that old man river He dont say nothin, but he must know somethin That old man river, he just keeps rolling along He dont plant taters And we all know he dont pick cotton But them that plant em, are soon forgotten, that Old man river, he just keeps rolling along, oh yes he does You and me, we sweat and toil Our bodies all achin and racked with pain, now listen! Lift that bar, youd better, tote that bail And if ya get a little drunk Youll land in jail Im so weary, and sick of tryin Im tired of livin, but afraid of dyin That, that goddarn old river, he just keeps rolling along Keep on rollin along Keep on rollin along Old man river dont you stop your way Keep on runnin from the north, the south, the east or west You gotta roll it ...
river, old, along, keep, rolling
