Lyrics
He don t plant cotton, tote that barge, lift that bale
He just keeps rollin, you get a little drunk and you land in jail River, let me go away from the mississippi
Body all achin and racked with pain, body all achin and racked with pain River, lift that bale
That ol man river, but ol man river
i get weary and sick of tryin
tote that barge
Body all achin and racked with pain, he just keeps rollin along
you get a little drunk and you land in jail
he must know somethin but don t say nothin
We sweat and strain, but ol man river Boys, show me that stream called the river jordan
Ol man river, that s the ol stream that i long to cross Beach, he keeps on rollin along
Let me go away from the white man boss, let me go away from the mississippi
He must know somethin but don t say nothin, he just keeps rollin along Beach, body all achin and racked with pain
Lift that bale, but ol man river Boys, tote that barge
He don t plant cotton, body all achin and racked with pain
You get a little drunk and you land in jail, but ol man river
Lift that bale, let me go away from the mississippi, he just keeps rollin along
lift that bale
We sweat and strain, lift that bale, body all achin and racked with pain
He just keeps on rollin along, but ol man river Beach, tote that barge
I get weary and sick of tryin, he just keeps rollin along, i get weary and sick of tryin
Let me go away from the mississippi, tote that barge, he just keeps rollin along
He keeps on rollin along, you get a little drunk and you land in jail Beach, i get weary and sick of tryin
Let me go away from the white man boss, ol man river River, i get weary and sick of tryin
Tote that barge, he don t plant cotton
he don t plant cotton
Show me that stream called the river jordan, body all achin and racked with pain
he just keeps rollin
He keeps on rollin along, let me go away from the mississippi
but ol man river
But ol man river, body all achin and racked with pain Beach, we sweat and strain
Tote that barge, but ol man river
Let me go away from the mississippi, you get a little drunk and you land in jail
He don t plant taters, we sweat and strain
He don t plant taters, he don t plant taters, body all achin and racked with pain
body all achin and racked with pain
he just keeps rollin along
Tote that barge, body all achin and racked with pain
body all achin and racked with pain
He must know somethin but don t say nothin, he just keeps rollin along
I m tired of livin and scared of dyin, let me go away from the white man boss
body all achin and racked with pain
He just keeps rollin along, he just keeps on rollin along
Tote that barge, he don t plant cotton, he just keeps rollin along
he just keeps rollin along
He just keeps on rollin along, he just keeps on rollin along, ol man river
Let me go away from the mississippi, that ol man river Beach, he just keeps rollin along
we sweat and strain
he just keeps rollin
He just keeps rollin along, he must know somethin but don t say nothin Man, i get weary and sick of tryin
tote that barge
but ol man river
Tote that barge, show me that stream called the river jordan
I m tired of livin and scared of dyin, show me that stream called the river jordan
Lift that bale, we sweat and strain, he don t plant taters
He keeps on rollin along, you get a little drunk and you land in jail
