[00:00:01] Ol' Man River (老人河) - Paul Robeson (罗伯逊)/The Andrews Sisters (安德鲁斯姐妹)

[00:00:18] Ol' man river,

[00:00:19] Dat ol' man river

[00:00:21] He mus'know sumpin'

[00:00:23] But don't say nuthin',

[00:00:25] He jes'keeps rollin'

[00:00:27] He keeps on rollin' along.

[00:00:33] He don' plant taters

[00:00:35] He don't plant cotton,

[00:00:37] An' dem dat plants'em

[00:00:40] Is soon forgotten,

[00:00:41] But ol'man river,

[00:00:43] He jes keeps rollin'along.

[00:00:49] You an'me,

[00:00:50] We sweat an' strain,

[00:00:52] Body all achin'

[00:00:54] An' racket wid pain,

[00:00:56] Tote dat barge!

[00:00:59] Lif' dat bale!

[00:01:00] Git a little drunk

[00:01:02] An' you land in jail.

[00:01:07] Ah gits weary

[00:01:08] An' sick of tryin'

[00:01:10] Ah'm tired of livin'

[00:01:12] An' skeered of dyin',

[00:01:15] But ol' man river,

[00:01:19] He jes'keeps rolling' along.

[00:01:35] Don't look up

[00:01:35] An' don't look down,

[00:01:37] You don' dast make

[00:01:39] De white boss frown.

[00:01:41] Bend your knees

[00:01:43] An'bow your head,

[00:01:45] An' pull date rope

[00:01:47] Until you' dead.

[00:02:52] O' man river,

[00:02:54] Dat ol' man river,

[00:02:55] He mus'know sumpin'

[00:02:57] But don't say nuthin'

[00:02:59] He jes' keeps rollin'

[00:03:00] He keeps on rollin' along.

[00:03:06] He don' plant tater,

[00:03:08] He don' plant cotton,

[00:03:10] An' dem dat plants 'em

[00:03:12] Is soon forgotten,

[00:03:14] But ol' man river,

[00:03:15] He jes' keeps rollin' along.

[00:03:22] You an' me,

[00:03:23] We sweat an' strain,

[00:03:24] Body all achin an' racked wid pain.

[00:03:29] Tote dat barge!

[00:03:32] Git a little drunk

[00:03:34] An' you land in jail.

[00:03:39] Ah, gits weary

[00:03:40] An' sick of tryin'

[00:03:42] Ah'm tired of livin'

[00:03:44] An' skeered of dyin',

[00:03:46] But ol' man river,

[00:03:48] He jes'keeps rollin' along!
