Jim Croce Ol' Man River song lyrics

Ol' man river, that old man river

He must know somethin'

But he don't say nothin'

That old man river, he just keeps rolling along

He don't plant taters

Don't plants cotton

But them that plants 'em, are soon forgotten, that

Ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along

Cause you and me, sweat and strain

Body all achin' and racked with pain,

Tote that barge, lift that bail

Get a little drunk

You'll land in jail

But I'm get weary, sick of trying

Cause I'm tried of livin,' but I'm scared of dyin'

That old man river, he just keeps rollin' along

Cause You and me, sweat and strain

Body all achin' and racked with pain,

Tote that barge, lift that bail

Get a little drunk

You'll land in jail

But I'm get weary, sick of trying

Cause I'm tried of livin, but I'm scared of dyin'

That old man river, he just keeps rollin' along
