Ol' Man River - William Warfield (威廉·沃菲尔德)/Howard Keel
Lyrics by：Oscar Hammerstein II/P.G. Wodehouse
Composed by：Jerome Kern
Dere's an ol' man called de Mississippi
Dat's de ol' man dat I'd like to be
What does he care if de world's got troubles
What does he care if de land ain't free
Ol' man river dat ol' man river
He mus' know sumpin' but don't say nuthin'
He jes' keeps rollin'
He keeps on rollin' along
He don' plant taters he don't plant cotton
An' dem dat plants' 'em is soon forgotten
But ol'man river
He jes' keeps rollin' along
You an' me we sweat an' strain
Body all achin' an' wracked wid pain
Tote dat barge Lif' dat bale
Git a little drunk an' you lands in jail
Ah gits weary an' sick of tryin'
Ah'm tired of livin' an' skeered of dyin'
But ol' man river
He jes' keeps rolling' along
