Ol' Man River - Freddy Quinn
Colored folks work on de mississippi
Colored folks work while de white folks play
Pulling dose boats from de dawn to sunset
Gitting no rest till de judgement day
Don't look up
An' don't look down
You don't dast make
De white boss frown
Bend your knees
An'bow your head
An' pull date rope
Until you' dead
Let me go away from the mississippi
Let me go away from de white man boss
Show me dat stream called de river jordan
Dat's de ol' stream dat I long to cross
O' man river
Dat ol' man river
He mus'know sumping
But don't say nothing
He jes' keeps rolling
He keeps on rolling along
He don't plant tater
He don't plant cotton
An' dem dat plants 'em
Is soon forgotten
But ol' man river
He jes' keeps rolling along
You an' me we sweat an' strain
Body all achin an' racked wid pain
Tote dat barge
Lif' dat bale
Git a little drunk
An' you land in jail
Ah gits weary
An' sick of trying
Ah'm tired of living
An' skeered of dying
But ol' man river
He jes'keeps rolling along
