F# B
Ol' man river
F# B
That ol' man river
F# B
He must say something (he don't know nothin')
F# Bbm
But he don't say nothing
G#m C#
That ol' man river
G#m C# F#
He just keeps rollin'... along
[Chorus]
B
He don't plant taters
F# B
He don't plant cotton
F# B
And them that plants 'em
F# Bbm
Are soon forgotten
G#m C#
That ol' man river
G#m C# F#
He just keeps rollin'... along
[Verse 2]
B
Don't get weary
F# B
and sick of tryin'
F# B
I'm tired of livin'
F# Bbm
and scared of dyin'
G#m C#
That ol' man river
G#m C# F#
He just keeps rollin'... along
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
F# B
He don't plant taters
F# B
He don't plant cotton
F# B
And them that plants 'em
F# Bbm
Are soon forgotten
G#m C#
That ol' man river
G#m C# F#
He just keeps rollin'... along
