Ol' Man River Lyrics - Down The Highway - Jim Croce

Ol' man river, that old man river 

He must know somethin' 

But he don't say nothin' 

That old man river, he just keeps rolling along 

He don't plant taters 

Don't plants cotton 

But them that plants 'em, are soon forgotten, that 

Ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along 

Cause you and me, sweat and strain 

Body all achin' and racked with pain, 

Tote that barge, lift that bail 

Get a little drunk 

You'll land in jail

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

But I'm get weary, sick of trying 

Cause I'm tried of livin,' but I'm scared of dyin' 

That old man river, he just keeps rollin' along 

Cause You and me, sweat and strain 

Body all achin' and racked with pain, 

Tote that barge, lift that bail 

Get a little drunk 

You'll land in jail 

But I'm get weary, sick of trying 

Cause I'm tried of livin, but I'm scared of dyin' 

That old man river, he just keeps rollin' along
