Ol' Man River

Ol' man river, that ol' man river He must know something, but he don't say nothing That ol' man river, he just keep rollin' along He don't plant 'taters He don't plant cotton Cause them that plants them is soon forgotten And ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along 'Cause you and me, we sweat and strain Body all achin' and wracked with pain Tote that barge, lift that bale Get a little drunk and you land in jail But I get weary and sick of tryin' 'Cause I'm tired of livin' That ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along You and me, we sweat and strain Body all achin' and wracked with pain Tote that barge, lift that bale Get a little drunk and you land in jail But I get weary and sick of tryin' 'Cause I'm tired of livin' But I'm scared of dyin' That ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along --- Ol' Man River - Jim Croce
