Ol' man river, dat ol' man river,
He must know sumpin', but don't say nothin',
He jus' keeps rollin',
He jus' keeps rollin' along.


'Ol' Man River' (1927 song) in Showboat


Ol' man river, dat ol' man river, He must know sumpin', but don't say nothin', He jus' keeps rollin', He jus' keeps rollin' along.

Ol' man river, dat ol' man river, He must know sumpin', but don't say nothin', He jus' keeps rollin', He jus' keeps rollin' along.

Ol' man river, dat ol' man river, He must know sumpin', but don't say nothin', He jus' keeps rollin', He jus' keeps rollin' along.

Ol' man river, dat ol' man river, He must know sumpin', but don't say nothin', He jus' keeps rollin', He jus' keeps rollin' along.
