Karaoké Ol' Man River Paul Robeson

There's an old man called the Mississippi

That's the old man that I'd like to be

What does he care if the world's got troubles

What does he care if the land ain't free

Don't look up and don't look down

You don't dast make the white boss frown

Bend your knees and bow your head

And pull that rope until you're dead

Let me go 'way from the Mississippi

Let me go 'way from the white man boss

Show me that stream called the river Jordan

That's the old stream that I long to cross

Old man river

That old man river

He must know somethin' but don't say nothin'

He just keeps rollin'

He keeps on rollin' along

He don't plant taters

He don't plant cotton

Them that plants 'em is soon forgotten

But old man river he just keeps rollin' along

You and me we sweat and strain

Body all achin' and racked with pain

Tote that barge

Lift that bale

You gits a little drunk and you lands in jail

I gets weary and sick of tryin'

I'm tired of livin' and scared of dyin'

But old man river he just keeps rollin' along
