Here we all work on the MississippiHere we all work while the rich boys playGetting no rest from the dawn till sunsetGetting no rest till the judgment dayYou don't look up, you don't look downYou don't dare make the rich boss frownBend your knees and bow your headsAnd tote that barge until you're deadLet me go away from the MississippiLet me go away from the rich man's [incomprehensible]Show me that stream called the river of JordanThat's the old stream that I long to crossOl' Man River, that Ol' Man RiverHe don't say nothing, but he must know somethingOl' Man River, he just keeps rolling alongHe don't plant taters and he don't plant cottonAnd then that planters are soon forgottenBut Ol' Man River, he just keeps rolling alongYou know, you and me, sometimes we have to we have to sweatSweat and strain, our bodies all aching and wrecked with painTote that barge, lift that bale, get a little drunkAnd you land, you gotta land, yes you land in jailI get weary, oh Lord and so sick of tryingI'm tired of living and 'fraid of dyingBut Ol' Man River, he just keeps rolling aOl' Man River, he just keeps rolling along
