Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River,
   C         F               C         F
he don't say nothin', but he must know somethin',
   G          G7          G        G7      C      F C F
he just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along.

He don't plant tatters, and he don't plant cotton,
    C         Em             Am      B7
and them what plants em, are soon forgotten

Em       Am         Em          Am
body all achin' and racked with pain.
Em        B7        Em        B7
Tote that barge and lift that bail,

I gets weary, and sick of trying,
    C        Dm              Am        D7
I'm tired of livin', but I'm scared of dyin',
    C       Am        Dm         G7      C      F C
but Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' along.
