[Verse 1]
[G]Nig[F]gas[Eb] all[D] work[G]
on the Mississip[C]pi
Nig[G]gas all work while the
[A]white folks [D]play
[G]Pulling those boats
from the dawn to [Ab]sunset[G][D][G]
Don't look up [Bm]an d don't
look down
You don't just make
the white horse frown
[F#]Bend [G]your knees [Bm]and bow your [G]head
And [Bm]pull that rope un[G]til [D]you're dead
Let [G]me go away from the Mississippi
[C]Let me [G]go away from the white [A]man boss
[D]Show me that str[G]eam called
the River Jordan
[Ab]That's [Cm]the o[Gm]ld stream
[G]that I long [D]to cross
[G]Old Man River,[Em]
that [G]Old Man [Em]River,
he [G]must know [C]something,
[G]but don't say [Em]nothin',
he just [Am]keeps [D]rollin',
he keeps on rollin' [G]along.[Bb][Am]
[Dsus4]He don't [G]plant taters,[A]
[G]he don't plant [A]cotton
And [G]then [Em]that plantin' is [Bm]soon forgot[Bbm]ten
But [Am]old man [D]River,
he just [Asus4]keeps rol[D]lin' alo[G]ng
[F#]You an d[Bm] me, we sweat and strain
While the old acorn had racked with pain
Hold that barge and lift that bale
And get a little drunk[Em],
[B]an d you land [Bm]in j[B]ail[C][Bm][D]
[G]I get sweary a[Em]nd s[G]ick of tryin[C]g
I'm [G]tired of [D]living and [Bm]fear of [A]dying
But [G]home [Gaug]and riv[Em]er,
he keep[Asus4]s the Wes[A]t al[D]one.[G][A][C#][G]
