Thereâs an ol' man called the Mississippi
Thatâs the olâ man that I wantâs to be
What is he care if the world got troubles
What is he care if the land ainât free
Olâ man river
That olâ man river
He must know some
But donât say nothing
He just keeps rolling
He keeps on rolling along
He donât plant tators
He donât plant cotton
And them that plants 'em
Is soon forgotten
But olâ man river
He just keeps rolling along
You and me
We sweat and strain
Body all aching
And wracked with pain
Tote that barge
Lift that bale
You gets a little drunk
And you lands in jail
I gets weary
And sick of trying
As tired of living
And scared of dying
But olâ man river
He just keeps rolling along
(Olâ man river
That olâ river
He must know something
But donât say nothing
He just keeps rolling
He keeps on rolling along)
Long olâ river forever keeps rolling on
(He donât plant tater
He donât plant cotton
And them that plants 'em
Is soon forgotten
But olâ man river
He just keeps rolling along
Long olâ river, keeps hearing that song
You and me,
We sweat and strain
Body all aching
And wracked with pain
Tote that barge
Lift that bale
If gets a little drunk
And you lands in jail
Ah, gets weary
And sick of trying
Iâm tired of living
And scared of dying
But olâ man river
He just keeps rolling along
