Old Man River-Fausto Papetti

Old Man River - Frank Sinatra 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 Ya don't dast make the white boss frown Bend your knees and bow your head And pull that rope until you're 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 must know something, But he don't say nothing He just keeps rollin', He keeps on rollin' along He don't plant taters, And he don't plant cotton And them what plants 'em is soon forgotten But Ol' Man River, Jest keeps rollin' along You and me, we sweat and strain Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain Tote that barge and lift that bale Ya get a little drunk and ya lands in ja-ail I gets weary and so sick of tryin' I'm tired of livin', But I'm feared of dyin' And Ol' Man River, He just keeps rollin' along
