Verse 1
(G major) 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 (B minor)
un (E minor) til you're (G major) dead (D major) (E major) (F sharp major) (G major) Let me go 'way from the Mis (C major) sissippi (G major) Let me go 'way from the white man (D major) boss (G major) Show me that stream called the River (C major) Jordan (G major) That's the old stream that I (D major) long to (G major) cross (A minor) (B minor) INTRO> (A minor) (D major) (G major) Ol' Man (E minor) River, (G major) that Ol' Man (C major) (G major) River (E minor) (G major)
He must know (C major) somepin',
but (D major) he don't say nothin'
He just (Dsus4) keep (D major) s rollin', he keeps (G major) on
(A minor) rollin' (B minor) (A minor) (D major) (G major) along
(E minor) He don't plant taters,
and (G major) (C major) he don't plant cotton (G major)
And them (E minor) what plants (G major)
'em is (C major) soon forgotten (D major)
But Ol' Man River,
jest keeps (G major) rollin' (D major) (G major) (A minor) along (B minor)
(A minor) (B minor)
You (F sharp major) and me,
(B minor) we sweat (F sharp major) and strain (B minor)
Bodies (F sharp major) all achin' (B minor) and wracked with (F sharp major) pain
Tote that barge and lift that bale
Ya (B minor) get a little (D major) drunk and ya lands in ja- ail
I (E minor) (F sharp major) (G major) gets (E minor) weary (G major)
and so sick of (C major) tryin'
I'm tired (B minor) of livin',
but (E minor) I'm feared (C major) of (A minor) dyin'
And (G major) Ol' Man (A minor) River,
(G major) he just keeps (A minor) rollin' (D major) along
