Ol' Man River Songtext
von Bing Crosby & Rosemary Clooney

Ol′ man river
That ol' man river
He don′t say nothin'
But he must know somethin'
′Cause he just keeps rollin′
He keeps rollin' along
Rollin′ along

He don't plant tators
He don′t plant cotton
Them that plants 'em is soon forgotten
But ol′ man river
He 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

I gets weary
Sick of tryin′
I′m tired of livin'
Feared of dyin′
But ol' man river
He′s rollin' along
