The Temptations - Ol' Man River şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: The Temptations

albüm: Emperors Of Soul: The Rarities


Here we all work 'long the Mississippi
Here we all work, while the rich boss plays
Getting no rest from the dawn 'till the sunset
Getting no rest 'till the judgement day
You don't look up, you don't look down
You don't dare make the rich boss frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And tote that barge until you're dead
Let me go 'way from the Mississippi
Let me go 'way from the rich man's boss
Show me that stream called the River of Jordan
That's the old stream that I long to cross, cross
Old Man River, that Old Man River
He don't say nothing, he must know something
Old, old man river, he just keeps rollin' along
You know, you know he don't plant taters
And we all know, we know the man don't plant no cotton
And then, then them they plant all the Lord knows they're soon forgotten
But old man river, he just keeps rollin' along
You, you and me
You know sometimes we have to sweat, sweat and strain
Our bodies, Lord our bodies are all achin'
And wracked with a whole lot of pain
Tote that barge, lift that bale, you get a little drunk
And you land in jail
I get weary, oh Lord and so sick of tryin'
I'm tired of livin', and 'fraid of dyin'
But old man river, he just keeps rollin' along, mmm
