Текст песни: Ol' Man River + перевод

Old man river, that old man river

He don’t say nothing, he don’t know something

Well He just keeps rolling, he keeps on rolling along!

He don’t plant tatters, he don’t plant cotton

And them that plants them, are soon forgotten

Well He just keeps rolling, he keeps on rolling along!

You and I, we sweat and strain

Body all aching and racked with pain

Tote that barge and lift that bail

You get a little drunk and you lands in jail

I gets weary, and sick of trying

I’m tired of living, and I’m scared of dying

But old man river, he just keeps rolling along

Old man river, that old man river

You say nothing, you know something

Well you just keeps rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling along!

He don’t plant tatters, he don’t plant cotton

And them that plants them, are soon forgotten

Well you just keeps rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling along!

You and I, we sweat and strain

Body all aching and racked with pain

Tote that barge and lift that bail

You get a little drunk and you lands in jail

I gets weary, and sick of trying

I’m tired of living, and I’m scared of dying

But old man river, he just keeps rolling along
