[00:00:11] Ol' Man River -Paul Robeson

[00:00:22] Ol' man river,

[00:00:35] Dat ol' man river

[00:00:38] He mus'know sumpin'

[00:00:38] But don't say nuthin',

[00:00:39] He jes'keeps rollin'

[00:00:40] He keeps on rollin' along.

[00:00:41] He don' plant taters/tators,

[00:00:41] He don't plant cotton,

[00:00:42] An' dem dat plants'em

[00:00:43] Is soon forgotten,

[00:00:44] But ol'man river,

[00:00:45] He jes keeps rollin'along.

[00:00:46] You an'me, we sweat an' strain,

[00:00:47] Body all achin' an' racket wid pain,

[00:00:48] Tote dat barge!

[00:00:49] Lif' dat bale!

[00:00:49] Git a little drunk

[00:00:50] An' you land in jail.

[00:00:52] Ah gits weary

[00:01:13] An' sick of tryin'

[00:01:13] Ah'm tired of livin'

[00:01:15] An' skeered of dyin',

[00:01:16] But ol' man river,

[00:01:19] He jes'keeps rolling' along.

[00:01:20] [Colored folks work on de Mississippi,

[00:01:22] Colored folks work while de white folks play,

[00:01:23] Pullin' dose boats from de dawn to sunset,

[00:01:24] Gittin' no rest till de judgement day.

[00:01:25] Or musical part

[00:01:26] Don't look up

[00:01:27] An' don't look down,

[00:01:27] You don' dast make

[00:01:28] De white boss frown.

[00:01:28] Bend your knees

[00:01:29] An'bow your head,

[00:01:30] An' pull date rope

[00:01:30] Until you' dead.)

[00:01:31] Let me go 'way from the Mississippi,

[00:01:33] Let me go 'way from de white man boss;

[00:01:41] Show me dat stream called de river Jordan,

[00:01:43] Dat's de ol' stream dat I long to cross.

[00:01:45] O' man river,

[00:01:47] Dat ol' man river,

[00:01:48] He mus'know sumpin'

[00:01:48] But don't say nuthin'

[00:01:49] He jes' keeps rollin'

[00:01:50] He keeps on rollin' along.

[00:01:51] Long ol' river forever keeps rollin' on...

[00:01:52] He don' plant tater,

[00:01:53] He don' plant cotton,

[00:01:53] An' dem dat plants 'em

[00:01:54] Is soon forgotten,

[00:01:55] But ol' man river,

[00:01:56] He jes' keeps rollin' along.

[00:02:07] You an' me, we sweat an' strain,
