Paroles de Ol' Man River
There’s an old man called the MississippiNow that’s the old man that I love to be
Oh what does he care if the world's got troubles?
What does he care if the land’s not free?
Ol' man river
That ol' man river
Well he must know somethin'
But he don't say nothin'
He keeps on rollin'
He just keeps rollin' along
And he don’t plant taters
And he don't plant cotton
Yes and them that plants 'em is soon forgotten
He keeps on rollin’
He just keeps rollin' along
Oh, you and me, we’re just the same
Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge, lift that bale
You get a little drunk and you land in jail
I get weary
And sick of tryin'
Till I’m tired of livin' I said that ol' man river, keeps on rollin’ along
Ol’ man river
Well he must know somethin'
But he don't say nothin'
He keeps on rollin'
He just keeps rollin' along
And he don’t plant taters
And he don't plant cotton
Yes and them that plants 'em is soon forgotten
He keeps on rollin’
He just keeps rollin' along
Oh, you and me, we’re just the same
Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge, lift that bale
You get a little drunk and you land in jail
I get weary
And sick of tryin'
Till I’m tired of livin' I said that ol' man river, keeps on rollin’ along
Ol’ man river
