Ol' Man River
by Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, J. Mark McVey

Album: Clear Skies Live! in Bossier City, LA

There's an ol' man called the Mississippi,
It's the ol' man that I'd like to be
What does he care if the world's got trouble?
What does he care if the 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' racket wid pain,
Tote dat barge!
Lif' dat bale!
Git a little drunk
An' you land 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.
