Greatest Musical Song Show Boat the Musical - Ol' Man River Lyrics
JOE: Dere's an ol' man called de Mississippi; Dat's de ol' man dat I'd like to be! What does he care if de world's got troubles? What does he care if de land ain't free?
Ol' Man River, Dat Ol' Man River He mus' know sumpin' But don't say nuthin', He jes' keeps rollin', He keeps on rollin' along. He don' plant taters, He don' plant cotton, An' dem dat plants 'em Is soon forgotten, But Ol' Man River, He jes' keeps rollin' along. You an' me, we sweat an strain, Body all achin' an' racked wid pain - Tote dat barge! Lift dat bale! Git a little drunk, An' you land in jail... Ah gits weary An' sick of tryin'; Ah'm tired of livin' An' skeered of dyin', But Ol' Man River, He jes' keeps rollin' along.
Niggers all work on de Mississippi Niggers all work while de white folks play, Pullin' dem boats from de dawn to sunset, Gittin' no rest till de Judgement Day.
MEN: Don' look up An' don' look down You don' dast make De white boss frown. Bend your knees An' bow your head, An' pull dat rope Until yo' dead.
JOE: Let me go 'way from the Mississippi Let me go 'way from de white man boss; Show me dat stream called de river Jordan, Dat's de ol' stream dat I long to cross.
MEN: Ol' Man River, Dat Ol' Man River, He mus' know sumpin' But don't say nuthin', He jes' keeps rollin', He keeps on rollin' along.
JOE: Long ol' river forever keeps rollin' on...
MEN: He don' plant taters, He don' plant cotton, An' dem dat plants 'em Is soon forgotten, But Ol' Man River, He jes' keeps rollin' along.
JOE: Long ol' river keeps hearing dat song. You an' me, we sweat an' strain, Body all achin' and racked wid pain - Tote dat barge! Lift dat bale! Git a little drunk An' you land in jail...
JOE & MEN: Ah gits weary An' sick of tryin'; Ah'm tired of livin' An' skeered of dyin', But Ol' Man River, He jes' keeps rollin' along!
