There’s an old man called the Mississippi
6 -5 5 5 6 -5 5 4 -4
That’s the old man that I’d like to be
5 -4 4 4 5 -4 4 4 -4 -5
What does he care if the world’s got troubles
5 -4 4 4 5 -4 4 -4 4
What does he care if the world ain’t free

Ol' Man River, dat Ol' Man Riv-er
-4 5 5 -4 4 -4 5 6 -6 6
He must know somethin’ but don't say nothin'
-6 6 6 5 -4 5 6 6 5 -4 5 4
He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin’ along
-2 -2 -2 3 4 3 -2 -2 3 4
He don't plant 'taters, he don't plant cotton
-4 5 6 -6 6 -6 7 7 -7 -6
And them that plants them is soon forgotten
-7 6 6 5 -4 5 6 6 5 -4 5 4
But Ol' Man Riv-er, he just keeps rollin' along
-3 -2 3 4 -3 -2 3
You and me, we sweat and strain
-3 -3 -2 3 3 4 -3 -2 3
Body all achin' and racked with pain
-2 2 -2/ -2 2 -2/
Tote that barge! Lift that bale!
3 -2 -2 2 2 -2/ 3 3 -2 2 -1
You gets a little drunk, and you lands in jail
-2 -2 3 4 3 -2 -2 3 4
I get weary and sick of tryin'
-4 5 6 -6 6 -6 7 7 -8 7
I’m tired of living and scared of dying
-8 8 8 -8 7 -8 8 8 -8 7 -8 7
But Ol' Man River he just keeps rollin' along
