《Ol’ Man River》歌词

[00:00:00] Ol' Man River - Tony Mason-Cox/Serge Ermoll

[00:00:15] Near girls all work on the Mississippi

[00:00:19] Near girls all work while a white band plays

[00:00:23] Pulling those boats from the dawn till sunset

[00:00:27] Getting no rest till the judgment day

[00:00:34] Don't look up don't look down

[00:00:38] Don't you dare make the white boss frown

[00:00:42] Bend your knees bow your head

[00:00:47] Keep on working until you're dead

[00:00:55] Let me go away from the Mississippi

[00:00:59] Let me go away from the white man boss

[00:01:03] Show me the stream that they called Jordan

[00:01:07] That's the old stream that I long to cross

[00:01:15] Ol' man river that ol' man river

[00:01:19] He must know something

[00:01:21] He don't say nothing

[00:01:24] He just keeps rolling

[00:01:26] He keeps on rolling along

[00:01:32] He don't plant tatters

[00:01:34] He don't plant cotton

[00:01:36] And then that plants them

[00:01:38] Is soon forgotten

[00:01:41] But ol' man river

[00:01:43] He just keeps rolling along

[00:01:49] You and me we sweat and strain

[00:01:53] Body all aching and racked with pain

[00:01:58] Tote that barge lift that bail

[00:02:02] You get a little drunk

[00:02:03] And you land in jail

[00:02:10] I get weary and sick of trying

[00:02:14] I'm tired of living

[00:02:17] I'm scared of dying

[00:02:19] But ol' man river

[00:02:21] He just keeps rolling along
