Testo Ol' Man River - Oscar Peterson

Ol' Man River

Ol' man river\nThat ol' man river\nHe don’t say nothing\nBut he must know something\nCause he just keeps rolling\nHe keeps rolling along\nRollin' along\nHe don’t plant tators\nHe don’t plant cotton\nThem that plants 'em is soon forgotten\nBut ol' man river\nHe keeps rolling along\nYou and me\nWe sweat and strain\nBody all aching\nAnd wracked with pain\nTote that barge\nLift that bale\nGet a little drunk\nAnd you land in jail\nI gets weary\nSick of trying\nI’m tired of living\nFeared of dying\nBut ol' man river\nHe’s rolling along
