old man river - davóne tines & the truth lyrics

there’s an old man called the mississippi
that’s the old man that i don’t want to be
what does he care if the world’s got troubles?
what does he care if the land ain’t free?

old man river, that old man river
he must know something, but don’t you say nothing
he just keeps rolling
he keeps on rolling along

he don’t plant ‘taters
he don’t plant cotton
and them that plants them
they are soon forgotten
but old, but old man river
he just keeps rolling along

oh, you and me, we sweat and strain
bodies are aching and racked with pain
tote that barge, life that bail
show a little grit and you land in jail
i get weary, said i get weary
and sick and sick and sick and sick
and sick of trying
i’m tired, i’m tired, i’m tired of living
and scared of dying
but i keep laughing instead of crying
i must keep fighting until i’m dying
but old man river
he just keeps rolling
along
