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) è stato un artista poliedrico di straordinaria fama internazionale. Nato a Neshoba County, nel Mississippi, da una famiglia afroamericana, Robeson si distinse come attore, cantante baritono-basso e attivista per i diritti civili. Dopo aver conseguito la laurea in giurisprudenza all'Università della Columbia, Robeson intraprese una carriera teatrale di successo a Broadway, interpretando ruoli iconici come Othello e Samson. La sua voce potente e il talento drammatico lo resero un artista apprezzato sia negli Stati Uniti che in Europa. Robeson si impegnò attivamente nella lotta per la giustizia sociale, denunciando le discriminazioni razziali e lottando per i diritti dei lavoratori. Le sue posizioni politiche radicali lo portarono a essere ostracizzato dal mondo dello spettacolo americano durante gli anni '50. Nonostante le difficoltà, Robeson continuò a cantare e recitare in tutto il mondo, diventando un simbolo di resistenza e libertà. Tra i suoi brani più celebri figurano "Ol' Man River", "Deep River" e "The Ballad of the Free Negro".
