Jane Siberry - Ol` Man River слова песни
Here we all work `long the MississippiHere we all work while the white folks playPullin` them boats from the dawn `til sunsetGettin` no rest `til the judgment dayDon`t look up, don`t look downYou don`t dare make the bossman frownBend your knees, bow your headPull that rope until you`re deadLet me go `way from the MississippiLet me go `way from the white man bossShow me that stream called the River JordanThat`s the ol` stream that I long to crossOl` Man River, that Ol` Man RiverHe don`t say nothin`, but he must know somethin`He just keeps rollin`, he keeps on rollin` alongHe don`t plant taters and he don`t plant cottonAnd then what plants `em are soon forgottenBut Ol` Man River, he just keeps rollin` alongYou and me, we sweat and strainBody all achin` and racked with painTote that barge and lift that baleYou get a little drunk and you land in jailI gets weary and sick of tryin`I`m tired of living but I`m scared of dyin`And Ol` Man River, he just keeps rollin` alongOl` Man River...
