Karaoke Ol' Man River The Temptations

Here we all work 'long the Mississippi

Here we all work while the rich boys plays

Gettin' no rest from the dawn 'till the sunset

Gettin' 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 heads

And tote that barge until you're dead

Let me go 'way from the Mississippi

Let me go 'way from the rich man's bounds

Show me that stream called the River of Jordan

That's the old stream that I long to cross

Oh ho ho ho oh ho

Ol' Man River

That Ol' Man River

He don't say nothin'

He must know somethin'

Oh Ol' Man River he just keeps rollin' along

You know

You know he don't plant taters

And we all know

We all know the man don't plant no cotton

And them

Them that plant

Oh the Lord knows they're soon forgotten

But Ol' 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

Tote that barge

Lift that bale

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 Ol' Man River he just keeps rollin'

Along

Mmh
