[01:03.88]Here we all work 'long the Mississippi
[01:08.42]Here we all work while the white folk play
[01:13.51]Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset
[01:19.05]Gettin' no rest till the judgment day
[01:24.33]Don't look up and don't look down
[01:26.98]
[01:27.94]Ya don't dast make the white boss frown
[01:32.01]Bend your knees and bow your head
[01:39.58]And pull that rope until you're dead
[01:51.40]Let me go 'way from the Mississippi
[01:55.50]Let me go 'way from the white man boss
[01:58.62]
[02:00.49]Show me that stream called the River Jordan
[02:10.36]That's the old stream that I long to cross
[02:29.95]Ol' Man River that Ol' Man River
[02:42.48]He don't say nothin' but he must know somethin'
[02:51.88]He just keeps rollin' he keeps on rollin' along
[03:05.15]
[03:11.22]He don't plant taters and he don't plant cotton
[03:20.96]And them what plants 'em are soon forgotten
[03:30.33]But Ol' Man River jest keeps rollin' along
[03:49.84]You and me we sweat and strain
[03:54.63]Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain
[03:57.66]
[03:58.58]Tote that barge and lift that bale
[04:01.98]Ya get a little drunk then ya lands in jail
[04:26.38]Gets weary and sick of tryin'
[04:34.56]I'm tired of livin' but I'm scared of dyin'
[04:44.74]And Ol' Man River he just keeps rollin' along
