Here we all work on the mississippi

Here we all work while the white folk play

Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset

Gettin' no rest till the judgment day
不休息直到审判日
Don't look up and don't look down
不要抬头也不要低头
You don't dare make a white man frown

Bend your knees and bow your head
双膝跪地低下头
And pull that rope until you're dead
拉着绳子直到你死去
Let me go 'way from the mississippi

Let me go 'way from the white man boss

Show me that stream called the river jordan

That's the old stream that I long to cross

I know that ol' man river that ol' man river

He must know somethin' the man don't say nothin'

I want you to know he keeps on rollin' along

And them folk they plant 'em

You and me we got to sweat and strain

I'm tired of livin' but I'm scared I'm scared of dyin'

But that ol' man and the river I say he just

The man just keep rollin' on long
