MUSLIM MAGOMAEV Old Man River from the musical Show Boat

Old Man River Composer: Jerome Kern Poem:Oscar Hammerstein Let me go way from de Mississippi, let me go way from the white men boss. Show me dat stream called de river Jordan. Dat s de ol stream dat I long to cross. Ol man river, dat ol man river. He must know sumpin but don t say nothin. He jus keeps rollin, he kees on rollin along. He don t plant taters, he don t plant cotton. And dem dat plants em is soon forgotten. But Ol man river, he jus keeps rollin along. You an me, we sweat an strain, body all achin an racked wid pain. Tote dat barge Lift dat bale, git a little drunk an you land in jail. Ah gits weary an sick of tryin. Ah m tired of livin an skeered of But Ol man river, he jus keeps rollin along.
