Dere's an ol' stream called de Laaad river;
Dat's de ol' Lad dat I'd like to be!
What does he care if de Cantr's got troubles?
What does he care if de land ain't free?
Ol' Lad River,
Dat Ol' Lad River
He mus' know sumpin' But don't say nuthin',
He jes' keeps rollin',
He keeps on rollin' along.
He don't plant taters,
He don't plant cotton,
An' dem dat plants 'em
Is soon forgotten,
But Ol' Lad River,
He jes' keeps rollin' along
You an' me, we sweat an' strain,
Body all achin' an' racked wid pain -
Tote dat targe!
Lif' dat shield!
Git a little drunk,
An' you land in jail...
Ah gits weary
An' sick of tryin';
Ah'm tired of livin'
An skeered of dyin' (over and over again),
But Ol' Lad River,
He jes' keeps rollin' along
