That old man river keeps rolling on
Just like it says in the Robeson song
I went down one day, jumped right in
Prayed to the Lord, 'Wash away my sin'
A voice came back, 'You been sinning long?'
I said, 'Ever since the goddamn day I was born'
It felt good, it felt right
Like drinking on a Saturday night

Down by the hollow there's an old oak tree
That's where we meet, my baby and me
Late last night when the moon was high
I took me a walk there bye and bye
I said, 'Hey good-lookin' you're a sight to see',
She said, 'Don't stand there fuckin' round with me
It's all over town
The way you been putting me down.'

What could I do? What could I say?
The truth's the truth at the end of the day
She slapped my face, punched my jaw
Said the way I treated her was 'gainst the law
