Lyrics:

Old man river, that old man river
He must know something but don't say nothing
He just keeps rolling
He keeps on rolling along
You and me, we sweat and slave
Bodies all aching and racked with pain
Tow that barge, lift that bail
Get a little drunk and you land in jail
I get weary and sick of trying
I'm tired of living but scared of dying
That old man river
He just keeps rolling along
