Here we all work 'long the MississippiHere we all work while the white folk playPullin' them boats from the dawn till sunsetGettin' no rest till the judgment day Don't look up and don't look down
You don't das make the boss man frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And pull that rope until your dead Let me go 'way from the MississippiLet me go 'way from the white man boss
Show me that stream called the River JordanThat's the old stream that I long to cross.
Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man RiverHe don't say nothin', but he must know somethin'He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along He don't plant tatters, and he don't plant cotton
And them what plants em, are soon forgotten
But Ol' Man River, just keeps rollin' along You and me, we sweat and strain
Body all achin' and racked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bail
You get a little drunk and you lands in jail I gets weary, and sick of tryingI'm tired of livin', but I'm scared of dyin'But Ol' Man River, he just keeps rolin' along
Paul LeRoy Bustill Robeson (1898-1976) was a multi-talented artist of extraordinary international fame. Born in Neshoba County, Mississippi, to an African American family, Robeson distinguished himself as an actor, baritone-bass singer, and civil rights activist. After graduating with a law degree from Columbia University, Robeson embarked on a successful theatrical career on Broadway, playing iconic roles such as Othello and Samson. His powerful voice and dramatic talent made him a beloved artist both in the United States and Europe. Robeson actively campaigned for social justice, denouncing racial discrimination and fighting for workers' rights. His radical political views led to his ostracism from the American entertainment world during the 1950s.
