[Verse 1]
[C][F][C][F][C][G][Gsus4][C][Gsus4]
[G]There's
[C]an old man called the Mississip[F]pi
That's [C]the old man I don't
[Am]like to [G]be
What does he [C]care if
the world's got [F]troubles?
What does [C]he care [Am]if the
[G]land ain't [C]free?
[Em]Don't look up and
don't look down
[Baug]You don't [Em]dast make
the white boss frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And pull [Baug]that rope [Em]un til you're d[F]ead
[G]Let me [C]go away from the Mississippi[F]
Let [C]me go away from the [Am]white man [Gsus4]boss,
[G]
[C]Show me that stream called the
River Jord[F]an,
That's [G]the old stream [Am]that I [D]long
[G]to cross.[C][Gsus4]
[C]Old Man [Am]River, that Old [C]Man River[F],
He [C]must know [F]something,
but [C]don't [G]say [Am]nothin'
He [Dm]just [G]keeps rollin',
he [D]keeps on [G]rollin' [C]along[F][C]
[G]He [C]don't plant [Am]taters,
he [C]don't plant cot[F]ton
And [C]them that [G]plants them
is [C]soon forgot[Ebdim]ten
But [D]old [Dsus4]man River[G],
he [Dm]just keeps [Gsus4]rolling a[G]long[C][F][C]
[B]You and[Em] me, we sweat and strain
Bodies all aching and wracked with pain
Hook that barge, lift that bail
You show a [Baug]little grip [Em]an
d you land in [F]jail[G]
But [C]I keep laughing in[F]stead [C]of crying
[F]I m[C]ust keep fighti[G]ng until I[Am]'m d[D]y ing
An [Gsus4]old man river[G],[Abdim]
[Am]he j[Dm]ust keeps roll[G]ing alon[C]g you[F][G]
