[00:00:00] Ol' Man River (From 'Show Boat') - Al Jolson

[00:00:00] Written by：Kern/Hammerstein II

[00:00:12] Niggers all work on the mississippi

[00:00:16] Niggers all work while the white folk play

[00:00:21] Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset

[00:00:26] Gettin' no rest till the judgment day

[00:00:31] Don't look up and don't look down

[00:00:35] You don't das make the boss man frown

[00:00:38] Bend your knees and bow your head

[00:00:41] Pull that rope until your dead

[00:00:48] Let me go 'way from the mississippi

[00:00:53] Let me go 'way from the white man boss

[00:01:00] Show me that stream called the river jordan

[00:01:09] That's the old stream that I long to cross

[00:01:28] Ol' man river that ol' man river

[00:01:34] He must know somethin' but he don't say nothin'

[00:01:39] He just keeps rollin' he keeps on rollin' along

[00:01:49] He don't plant tatters and he don't plant cotton

[00:01:54] And them what plants em are soon forgotten

[00:01:59] But ol' man river just keeps rollin' along

[00:02:08] You and me we sweat and strain

[00:02:10] Body all achin' and racked with pain

[00:02:13] Tote that barge and lift that bail

[00:02:17] You get a little drunk and you lands in jail

[00:02:29] I gets weary sick of trying

[00:02:36] I'm tired of livin' I'm scared of dyin'

[00:02:42] But ol' man river he just keeps rolin' along
