Текст данной песни:
Old man river, that old man river
He don't say nothing,he don't know something
Well He just keeps rolling, he keeps on rolling along
He don't plant tatters,he don't plant cotton
And them that plants them, are soon forgotten
Well He just keeps rolling, he keeps on rolling along
You and I, we sweat and strain
Body all aching and racked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bail
You get a little drunk and you lands in jail
I gets weary,and sick of trying
I'm tired of living,and I'm scared of dying
But old man river, he just keeps rolling along
Old man river, that old man river
You say nothing,you know something
Well you just keeps rolling,rolling,rolling,rolling,rolling along
He don't plant tatters,he don't plant cotton
And them that plants them, are soon forgotten
Well you just keeps rolling,rolling,rolling,rolling,rolling along
You and I, we sweat and strain
Body all aching and racked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bail
You get a little drunk and you lands in jail
I gets weary,and sick of trying
I'm tired of living,and I'm scared of dying
But old man river, he just keeps rolling along
