Ol’ man rivuhhh, dat ol’ man rivuhhhh
He mus know sumpthin’
But don’ say nuthinnn’
He jus keps rollinn’
He keeps on rollin’’ ah-long.
Ah gets weary, an’ sick of tryin’
Ah’m tired of livin…
And scared of dyinnnnnnn...
But OL MAN RIVUHHH
He juss keeps rollin' ahhhhhhhh-long.
From the American musical SHOWBOAT, 1927,
with apologies to Jerome Kern (music) and Oscar Hammerstein (lyrics).
