LYRICS:
Dare’s an ol’ man cal’d de Mississipi
Dat’s de ol’ man dat I’d lek to be
Whot does he care
iv de world gets trauble
Whot does he care iv de land lev’s free.
Ol’ man river,
Dat ol’ man river
He mus’know sumpin’
But don’t say nuthin’,
He jes’keeps rollin’
He keeps on rollin’ along.
He don’ plant taters,
He don’t plant cotton,
An’ dem dat plants’em
is soon forgotten,
But ol’man river,
He jes keeps rollin’along.
You an’me, we sweat an’ strain,
Body all achin’ an’ racket wid pain,
Tote dat barge!
Lif’ dat bale!
Git a little drunk
An’ you land in jail.
Ah gits weary
An’ sick of tryin’
Ah’m tired of livin’
An’ skeered of dyin’,
But ol’ man river,
He jes’keeps rolling’ along.
[Colored folks work on de Mississippi,
Colored folks work while de white folks play,
Pullin’ dose boats from de dawn to sunset,
Gittin’ no rest till de judgement day.
Don’t look up
An’ don’t look down,
You don’ dast make
De white boss frown.
Bend your knees
An’bow your head,
An’ pull date rope
Until you’ dead.)
Let me go ‘way from the Mississippi,
Let me go ‘way from de white man boss;
Show me dat stream called de river Jordan,
Dat’s de ol’ stream dat I long to cross.
O’ man river,
Dat ol’ man river,
He mus’know sumpin’
But don’t say nuthin’
He jes’ keeps rollin’
He keeps on rollin’ along.
(Long ol’ river forever keeps rollin’ on…)
He don’ plant tater,
He don’ plant cotton,
An’ dem dat plants ‘em
Is soon forgotten,
but ol’ man river,
He jes’ keeps rollin’ along.
(Long ol’ river keeps hearing dat song).
You an’ me, we sweat an’ strain,
Body all achin an’ racked wid pain.
Tote dat barge!
Lif’ dat bale!
Git a little drunk
An’ you land in jail.
Ah, gits weary
An’ sick of tryin’
Ah’m tired of livin’
An’ skeered of dyin’,
But ol’ man river,
He jes’keeps rollin’ along!

On April 27th 1865, the overload steamboat Sultana, carrying upwards of 2,400 passengers and crew, mostly Union Prisoners of War returning home from Confederate POW Camps including the Andersonville Death Camp, was torn apart by a boiler explosion in the resulting fire storm 1,900 sick and wounded soldiers, women and children parished in the worst maratime disaster in United States History
Today the tragedy of the Sultana is completly forgotten overshadowed by the end of the Civil War and the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln a few weeks before, dispite the fact more people died in the Sultana Disaster then on the Titanic, or the Lusitania, the only memorials are a few obscure plaques in forgotten cemetaries
I apologize for the lack of variety among the pictures in this video but that should serve as a testimant to just how forgotten the Sultana and the 1,900 who died on that horrible night truely are.
