[ Featuring Signature Sound ]
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 trouble
What does he care if the land ain't free?
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 them that plants em, is soon forgotten
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 and lift that bail
Get a little drunk and you land in jail
I, I gets weary, and sick of trying
I'm tired of livin', and scared of dyin'
But ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along, along"
