Old Man River歌词

[01:05.10]There is an old man called Mississippi,
[01:09.53]That's the old man I don't like to be.
[01:13.93]What does he care if the world' d got troubles,
[01:18.55]What does he care if the land ain' t free.
[01:24.38]Don' t look up, and don' t look down !
[01:28.73]You don't just make the white boss frown,
[01:33.78]Bend your knees and bow your head,
[01:38.10]And pull that robe until you're dead!
[01:45.63]Let me go way from the Mississippi,
[01:49.53]Let me go way from the white man boss.
[01:53.80]Show me that stream call de river Jordan,
[01:59.20]Dat de old stream dat I long to cross.
[02:12.82]Old man river,
[02:15.80]Dat old man river!
[02:18.86]He must know something,
[02:22.12]But don't say nothing.
[02:25.46]He just keeps rolling,
[02:28.73]He keeps on rolling along.
[02:38.47]He don' t plant tatoes,
[02:41.40]He don' t plant cotton,
[02:44.45]And dem dat plant'em is soon forgotten,
[02:50.97]But old man river,
[02:54.26]He just keeps rolling along.
[03:01.85]You and me we sweat and strain,
[03:06.30]Body all aching and racked wid pain.
[03:10.58]Tote dat barge and lift dat bale,
[03:14.68]Get a little drunk and you'll land in jail.
[03:25.60]I get weary and sick of trying
[03:32.41]I'm tired of living and scared of dying.
[03:40.10]But old man river,
[03:44.31]He just keeps rolling along.
