letra de ol' man river - the lettermen

[intro]
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 dares make the boss man 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 ol’ stream that i long to cross

[verse 1]
ol’ man river
that ol’ man river
hе must know somethin’
but he don’t say nothin’
he just keeps rollin’
hе keeps on rollin’ along

[verse 2]
he don’t plant taters
and he don’t plant cotton
and dem what plants ’em
are soon forgotten
but ol’ man river
just keeps rollin’ along
[bridge]
you and me, we sweat and strain
body all achin’ and wracked with pain
tote that barge or lift that bale
you get a little drunk, and you lands in jail

[verse 3]
i gets weary
and i’m sick of tryin’
i’m tired of livin’
but i’m scared of dyin’
and ol’ man river
he just keeps rollin’ along
