Il MNOGAJA LETA QUARTET effettua un'escursione nel repertorio della musica “leggera” per aggiornare la descrizione della penosa condizione dei lavoratori afroamericani all’inizio del sec. XX. Il brano, scritto nel 1927, è tratto dal musical SHOW BOAT ed esprime il punto di vista di un scaricatore nero sullo Showboat, contrapponendo le lotte e le fatiche degli afroamericani all’infinito, indifferente flusso del fiume Mississippi.

TESTO ESEGUITO

Colored folks work on de Mississippi,
Colored folks work while de white folks play,
Pulling dose boats from de dawn to sunset,
Gettin' no rest till de judgment day.

Don't look up an' don't look down,
You don't dast make de white boss frown;
Bend your knees an' bow to' head,
An’ pull dat rope until you’re dead.

Let me go 'way from de Mississippi,
Let me go 'way from de white man boss,
Show me dat stream called de river Jordan,
Dat's de ol' stram dat I long to cross.

Ol' man river, dat ol' man river,
He must know sumpin',
But don't say nothin',
He just keeps rollin',
He keeps on rollin' a long.

He don't plant 'taters,
He don't plant cotton,
An' dem plants 'em is soon forgotten;
But ol' man river he jes keeps rollin' a long.

You an' me, we sweat and strain,
Body all achin' an' racked wid pain.
"Tote dat barge!" "Lift dat bale",
Git a little drunk an' you land in jail.

Let me go 'way from de Mississippi,
Let me go 'way from de white man boss,
Show me dat stream called de river Jordan,
Dat's de ol' stram dat I long to cross.

Ah gits weary an' sick of tryin',
Ahn tired of livin'
An' feared (skared)of dyin',
But ol' man river he jes keep roll'in a long.
