Cool breeze on the river Ripples to the shore Wash away my troubles To the sea forever more Wind and willows whisper Sadness is the sound Tell the tale of my wants Happy world that's falling down Old man I might be going where you're bound
Chorus: Old man river Ive come to talk again Yes I know you're tired Cause your journey never ends Hes just like you Hes moving all the time And I think he's moving me out of his mind
I want to travel with you In your deep and nimble soul That's the only way to make it Peaceful like before
We used to touch at midnight But now I feel he's gone Even though he's lying next to me I feel alone Oh man it looks like Im to travel alone
