Testo Ol' Man River - Frank Sinatra feat. Ken Lane Singers
Testo della canzone Ol' Man River (Frank Sinatra feat. Ken Lane Singers), tratta dall'album The Columbia Years (1943-1952): The Complete Recordings, Vol. 1
Here we all work 'long the Mississippi
Here we all work while the white folk play
Pullin' them boats from the dawn 'til sunset
Gettin' no rest 'til the judgement day
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 your dead
Let me go away from the Mississippi
Let me go away from the white man boss
Show me that stream called the River Jordan
That's the old stream that I long to cross
Ol' man river
That ol' man river
He must know somethin'
But he don't say nothin'
He just keeps rollin'
He keeps on rollin' along
He don't plant taters
And he don't plant cotton
And them what plants 'em is soon forgotten
But ol' man river just keeps rollin' along
You and me, we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin' and racked with pain
Tote that barge, lift that bale
You get a little drunk, then you lands in jail
I gets weary and so sick of tryin'
I'm tired of livin'
But I'm feared of dyin'
And ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along
