(C)Ol' man (F)river, dat (C)ol' man (F)river;

He (Dm7)jus' keeps (G7)rollin', he (Dm7)keeps on (G7)rollin' (C)along.
(G7)He (C)don't plant (F)'taters, he (C)don't plant (F)cotton,
an' (C)dem dat plants 'em is soon (Ebdim)forgotten.
But (Dm7)ol' man (G7)river, he (Dm7)jus' keeps (G7)rollin' (C)along.
(Em)You an' (B7)me, we (Em)sweat and (B7)strain,
(Em)body all (B7)achin' an' (Em)racked wid (B7)pain.

(Em)Get a little (Am)drunk an' you (Em)land in (Dm)jail.
(C)Ah gits (F)weary an' (C)sick of (F)tryin',
ah'm (C)tired of (G7)livin' an' (Am)skeered of (D7)dyin',
but (C)ol' man (Am)river, he (Dm7)jus' keeps (G7)rollin' (C)along.
