rate me

(oscar hammerstein ii and jerome kern)<br><br>Old man river, that old man river,<br>He don't say nothin', but he must know somethin'<br>That old man river, he just keeps rolling along.<br><br>He don't plant tater's,<br>And we all know he don't pick cotton.<br>But them that plant 'em, are soon forgotten, that<br>Old man river, he just keeps rolling along, oh yes he does.<br><br>You and me, we sweat and toil,<br>Our bodies all achin' and racked with pain, now listen!<br>Lift that bar, you'd better, tote that bail,<br>And if ya' get a little drunk,<br>You'll land in jail.<br><br>I'm so weary, and sick of tryin',<br>I'm tired of livin', but afraid of dyin'.<br>That, that god-darn' old river, he just keeps rolling along.<br>Keep on rollin' along.<br><br>Keep on rollin' along.<br>Old man river don't you stop your way.<br>Keep on runnin' from the north, the south, the east or west,<br>You gotta roll it ...
