Quotes
-
Joe [prologue] : [singing] You an' me,/ We sweat and strain,/ Body all achin' and wracked with pain!/ "Tote dat barge!/ Lift dat bale!"/ Git a little drunk,/ And yuh lands in jail!/ Ah gits weary/ An' sick o' tryin',/ Ah'm tired o' livin',/ An' scared o' dyin', / But Ol' Man River,/ He jes' keeps rollin' along!
