Ol’ Man River (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Writer(s): hammerstein/kern

Here we all work ‘long the mississippi
Here we all work while the white folk play
Pullin’ them boats from the dawn till sunset
Gettin’ no rest till the judgment day

Don’t look up and don’t look down
You don’t das make the boss man frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And pull that rope until your dead

Let me go ‘way from the mississippi
Let me go ‘way from the white man boss
Show me that stream called the river jordan
That’s the old stream that i long to cross.

Ol’ man river, that ol’ man river
He don’t say nothin’, but he must know somethin’
He just keeps rollin’, he keeps on rollin’ along

He don’t plant tatters, and he don’t plant cotton
And them what plants em, are soon forgotten
But ol’ man river, just keeps rollin’ along

You and me, we sweat and strain
Body all achin’ and racked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bail
You get a little drunk and you lands in jail

I gets weary, and sick of trying
I’m tired of livin’, but i’m scared of dyin’
But ol’ man river, he just keeps rolin’ along

(oscar hammerstein ii and jerome kern)

Old man river, that old man river,
He don’t say nothin’, but he must know somethin’
That old man river, he just keeps rolling along.

He don’t plant tater’s,
And we all know he don’t pick cotton.
But them that plant ‘em, are soon forgotten, that
Old man river, he just keeps rolling along, oh yes he does.

You and me, we sweat and toil,
Our bodies all achin’ and racked with pain, now listen!
Lift that bar, you’d better, tote that bail,
And if ya’ get a little drunk,
You’ll land in jail.

I’m so weary, and sick of tryin’,
I’m tired of livin’, but afraid of dyin’.
That, that god-darn’ old river, he just keeps rolling along.
Keep on rollin’ along.

Keep on rollin’ along.
Old man river don’t you stop your way.
Keep on runnin’ from the north, the south, the east or west,
You gotta roll it …
