《Ol’ Man River》歌词

[00:00:01] Ol' Man River (from "Showboat") - Frank Sinatra

[00:00:03] Written by：Oscar Ii Hammerstein/Jerome Kern

[00:00:16] Here we all work 'long the Mississippi

[00:00:22] Here we all work while the white folk play

[00:00:27] Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset

[00:00:32] Gettin' no rest till the judgment day

[00:00:37] Don't look up and don't look down

[00:00:41] Ya don't dast make the white boss frown

[00:00:47] Bend your knees and bow your head

[00:00:53] And pull that rope until you're dead

[00:01:06] Let me go 'way from the Mississippi

[00:01:11] Let me go 'way from the white man boss

[00:01:16] Show me that stream called the River Jordan

[00:01:23] That's the old stream that I long to cross

[00:01:43] Ol' Man River that Ol' Man River

[00:01:52] He must know somethin' but he don't say nothin'

[00:02:00] He just keeps rollin' he keeps on rollin' along

[00:02:17] He don't plant taters and he don't plant cotton

[00:02:26] And them what plants 'em is soon forgotten

[00:02:33] But Ol' Man River jest keeps rollin' along

[00:02:49] You and me we sweat and strain

[00:02:54] Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain

[00:02:58] Tote that barge and lift that bale

[00:03:03] Ya get a little drunk then ya lands in jail

[00:03:20] I gets weary and so sick of tryin'

[00:03:30] I'm tired of livin' but I'm feared of dyin'

[00:03:38] And Ol' Man River he just keeps rollin' along
