The Beach Boys - Old Man River lyrics

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 ol' stream that I long to cross Ol' Man River, that Ol' 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 And then that plants them is soon forgotten But Ol' Man River He just keeps on rollin' along You and me, we sweat and strain Body all achin' and racked with pain Tote that barge, lift that bale You get a little drunk and you land in jail I get weary and sick of tryin' I'm tired of livin' and scared of dyin' But Ol' 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 get a little drunk and you land in jail I get weary and sick of tryin' I'm tired of livin' and scared of dyin' But Ol' Man River He just keeps rollin' along
