Lyrics:

Old man river
That old man river
Don't say nothin'
Don't do nothing,he just keeps frollin'

Keeps on rollin' along

He don't plant taters

And he don't plant cotton
And them what plants 'em is soon forgotten
But old man river, just keeps rollin' along

You and me, we sweat and we strain
Our bodies all achin'
And we're wracked so with pain
Tote that barge and you lift with that bale

Ya get a little drunk and you land,you land in jail
I'm weary and I'm sick of tryin'
Scared of livin',and scared of dyin'
But old man river, he just,he keeps on rollin' along,along
