Jim Croce - Old Man River lyrics
[Jim Croce - Old Man River lyrics]
He must know somethin'
But he don't say nothin'
That ol' man river he
Just keeps rollin' along
He don't plant tators
He don't plant cotton
Them that plants 'em is soon forgotten
But ol' man river
He just keeps rollin' along
You and me we sweat and strain
Body all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge lift that bale
Get a little drunk and you land in jail
But I get weary sick of tryin'
Cause I'm tired of livin'
But I'm scared of dyin' and ol' man river
He just keeps rollin' along
You and me we sweat and strain
Body all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge lift that bale
Get a little drunk and you land in jail
But I get weary sick of tryin'
Cause I'm tired of livin'
But I'm scared of dyin' and ol' man river
He just keeps rollin' along
