Pullin' dose boats from de dawn to sunset, gittin' no rest till de judgment day. Don't look up an' don't look down, you don't dast make de white boss frown. Bend yo' knees an' bow yo' head and pull dat rope until yo're dead. Let me go way from de Mississippi, let me go way from de white men boss. Show me dat stream called de river Jordan, dat's de ol' stream dat I long to cross. 01 man river, dat ol' man river, he must know sumpin' but don't say nothin', he jus keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along. He don't plant taters, he don't plant cotton, an' dem dat plants 'em is soon forgotten but ol' man river, he jus keeps rollin' along. You an' me, we sweat an' strain, body all achin' an' racked wid pain. "Tote dat barge!","Litf 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 jus keeps rollin' along. - Oscar Hammerstein II Related Lyrics Random lyrics: I Dream Wild Horses, Love Has a Face, Not Backing Down, Ragged Sky, Somewhere in the Night, Stars Fall, The Marrow The Bone, A Louse Is Not A Home, A Way Out, Act Five, Act Four, Act One, Act Six, Act Three, Act Two, Again, Airport, Alice Letting Go, Autumn, Been Alone So Long, Betrayed, Birthday Special, Breakthrough, Candle, Careering Dont Ask Me, Central Hotel, Child, Comfortable, Crying Wolf, Curtains, Description, Dropping The Torch, Easy To Slip Away, Empresss Clothes, Empresss Clothes, Evidently Goldfish, Faculty X, Faint Heart And The Sermon, Faint-Heart And The Sermon, Ferret And Featherbird, Film Noir, Fireships, Flight, Fogwalking, Forsaken Gardens, Four Pails, Gaia, German Overalls, Given Time, Glue, Other Hammerstein Oscar song Lyrics A Puzzlement Lyrics A Puzzlement Reprise Lyrics Getting To Know You Lyrics Hello Young Lovers Lyrics I Have Dreamed Lyrics I Whistle A Happy Tune Lyrics I Whistle A Happy Tune Reprise Lyrics My Lord And Master Lyrics School Song Lyrics Shall I Tell You What I Think Of You Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Hammet Melanie Lyrics Hammill Peter Lyrics Hammond Albert Lyrics Hammond Beres Lyrics Hammond Fred Lyrics Hampton the Hampster Lyrics Hamptons Lyrics Hamptons The Lyrics Hamtaro Lyrics Han van Eijk Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
