<br />
Colored folks work on de Mississippi,<br />
colored folks work while de white folks play.<br />
Pullin` dose boats from de dawn to sunset,<br />
gittin` no rest till de judgment day.<br />
Don`t look up an` don`t look down,<br />
you don`t dast make de white boss frown.<br />
Bend yo` knees an` bow yo` head<br />
and pull dat rope until yo`re dead.<br />
Let me go  way from de Mississippi,<br />
let me go  way from de white men boss.<br />
Show me dat stream called de river Jordan,<br />
dat`s de ol` stream dat I long to cross.<br />
01  man river, dat ol` man river,<br />
he must know sumpin` but don`t say nothin`,<br />
he jus  keeps rollin`, he keeps on rollin` along.<br />
He don`t plant taters, he don`t plant cotton,<br />
an` dem dat plants `em is soon forgotten<br />
but ol` man river, he jus  keeps rollin` along.<br />
You an` me, we sweat an` strain,<br />
body all achin` an` racked wid pain.<br />
`Tote dat barge!`,`Litf dat bale!`,<br />
git a little drunk an` you land in jail.<br />
Ah gits weary an` sick of tryin`,<br />
ah m tired of livin` an` skeered of dyin`,<br />
but ol` man river, he jus  keeps rollin` along.<br />

OL` MAN RIVER

Colored folks work on de Mississippi,
colored folks work while de white folks play.
Pullin` dose boats from de dawn to sunset,
gittin` no rest till de judgment day.
Don`t look up an` don`t look down,
you don`t dast make de white boss frown.
Bend yo` knees an` bow yo` head
and pull dat rope until yo`re dead.
Let me go way from de Mississippi,
let me go way from de white men boss.
Show me dat stream called de river Jordan,
dat`s de ol` stream dat I long to cross.
01 man river, dat ol` man river,
he must know sumpin` but don`t say nothin`,
he jus keeps rollin`, he keeps on rollin` along.
He don`t plant taters, he don`t plant cotton,
an` dem dat plants `em is soon forgotten
but ol` man river, he jus keeps rollin` along.
You an` me, we sweat an` strain,
body all achin` an` racked wid pain.
`Tote dat barge!`,`Litf dat bale!`,
git a little drunk an` you land in jail.
Ah gits weary an` sick of tryin`,
ah m tired of livin` an` skeered of dyin`,
but ol` man river, he jus keeps rollin` along.
