《Ol’ Man River》歌词

[00:00:00] Ol' Man River (老人河) - Paul Robeson (罗伯逊)/Lawrence Brown

[00:00:07] Darkies all work on the Mississippi

[00:00:10] Darkies all work while the white folks play

[00:00:14] Pullin' dose boats from the dawn till the sunset

[00:00:17] Gettin' no rest till the judgment day

[00:00:23] Don't look up and don't look down

[00:00:26] You don't dare make the rich boss frown

[00:00:29] Bend your knees and bow your head

[00:00:32] And tote that barge until you're dead

[00:00:38] Let me go away from the Mississippi

[00:00:41] Let me go away from the wise man boss

[00:00:45] Show me that stream called the River of Jordan

[00:00:50] That's the old stream that I long to cross

[00:01:03] Old Man River

[00:01:05] That Old Man River

[00:01:08] He doesn't say nothin' he must know somethin'

[00:01:13] He just keeps rollin'

[00:01:15] He keeps on rollin'

[00:01:18] A long ol' river forever keeps rollin' on

[00:01:23] He don't plant taters

[00:01:25] He don't plant cotton

[00:01:27] And then they plant 'em

[00:01:30] Is soon forgotten

[00:01:32] But Ol' Man River

[00:01:35] He just keeps rollin'

[00:01:37] A long ol' river keeps hearing that song

[00:01:42] You and me we sweat and strain

[00:01:46] Body all achin' and racked with pain

[00:01:50] Tote that barge lift that bale

[00:01:54] You gets a little drunk

[00:01:56] And you land in jail

[00:02:04] I get weary and sick of tryin'

[00:02:09] I'm tired of livin' and scared of dyin'

[00:02:15] But Ol' Man River he just keeps rollin' along
