[Aretha Franklin - Ol' Man River lyrics]

Here we all work, on one jar or another
Why should I work while he rolls blaze?
I get tired, so tired and weary
Got to keep tolling day by day

Ol' man river, ol’ man river
He don't say nothin'
But he must know somethin’
Ol' man river keeps on rollin' along, ah ah
No, he don't plant cotton
He don't plant taters
Them what plants 'em is soon forgotten
Ol' man river keeps on rollin' along, mhm

Well, you and me, we sweat and strain
Our bodies all achin’ and wracked with pain
Tote that barge, you better lift that bale
Get a little drunk and you land in jail

I get weary, so sick of tryin’
I'm tired of livin’, but afraid of dyin'

Ol' man river, he keeps on rollin' along, mhm
Mhm, mmm, yeah

Well, you, you and me, we sweat and strain
Our bodies all achin’ and wracked with pain
Oh, tote that barge
You better lift that bale
Get a little drunk and you land in jail

I get weary, so sick of tryin'
Tired of livin', but afraid of dyin'
Ol' man river, he keeps on rollin' along, mhm
Ol' man river keeps on rollin' along, yeah
Ol' man river keeps on rollin' along
