《Old Man River》歌词

[00:00:00] Old Man River (老人河) - John Delbridge

[00:00:11] Here we all work along the Mississippi

[00:00:16] Here we all work while the white boys play

[00:00:22] Gettin' no rest from the dawn till the sunset

[00:00:28] Gettin' no rest till the judgment day

[00:00:33] You don't look up you don't look down

[00:00:38] You don't dare make the rich boss frown

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

[00:00:47] And tote that barge until you're dead

[00:00:54] Let me go away from the Mississippi

[00:01:00] Let me go away from the rich man boss

[00:01:05] Show me that stream called the River of Jordan

[00:01:11] That's the old stream that I long to cross

[00:01:21] Old Man River Old Man River

[00:01:27] He must know somethin' He don't say nothin'

[00:01:34] He just keeps rollin'

[00:01:37] He keeps on rollin' along

[00:01:46] He don't plant taters

[00:01:49] He don't plant no cotton

[00:01:52] And then they plant them

[00:01:55] They are soon forgotten

[00:01:59] But Old Man River he just keeps rollin' along

[00:02:11] You and me sweat and strain

[00:02:17] Bodies are all achin'

[00:02:19] Wracked with a whole lot of pain

[00:02:22] Tote that barge lift that bale you get a little drunk

[00:02:29] And you land in jail

[00:02:35] I get weary and sick of tryin'

[00:02:42] I'm tired of livin' and afraid of dyin'

[00:02:48] But Old Man River he just keeps

[00:02:54] Rollin' along
