Here we all work `long the Mississippi
Here we all work while the white folk play
Pullin` them boats from the dawn till sunset
Gettin` no rest till the judgment day
Don`t look up and don`t look down
Ya don`t dast make the white boss frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And pull that rope until you`re dead
Let me go `way from the Mississippi
Let me go `way from the white man boss
Show me that stream called the River Jordan
That`s the old stream that I long to cross Ol` Man River, that Ol` Man River
He must know somepin`, but he don`t say nothin`
He just keeps rollin`, he keeps on rollin` along
He don`t plant taters, and he don`t plant cotton
And them what plants `em is soon forgotten
But Ol` Man River, jest keeps rollin` along
You and me, we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin` and wracked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bale
Ya get a little drunk and ya lands in ja-ail
I gets weary and so sick of tryin`
I`m tired of livin`, but I`m feared of dyin`
And Ol` Man River, he just keeps rollin` along Send " Ol Man River" Ringtone to your Cell
