歌词：
Cool breeze on the river
Ripples to the shore
Wash away my troubles
To the sea forever more
Wind and willows whisper
Sadness is the sound
Tell the tale of my wants
Happy world that''s falling down
Old man I might be going where you''re bound

Old man river
I''ve come to talk again
Yes I know you''re tired
Cause your journey never ends
He''s just like you
He''s moving all the time
And I think he''s moving me out of his mind

I want to travel with you
In your deep and emerald soul
That''s the only way to make it
Peaceful like before

We used to touch at midnight
But now I feel he''s gone
Even though he''s lying next to me I feel alone
Old man it looks like time to travel alone

Old man river
I''ve come to talk again
Yes I know you''re tired
Cause your journey never ends
He''s just like you
He''s moving all the time
And I think he''s moving me out of his mind

Old man river
I''ve come to talk again
Yes I know you''re tired
Cause your journey never ends
He''s just like you
He''s moving all the time
And I think he''s moving me out of his mind

基本信息
《老人河》一译《河流老人》，又名《密西西比》，是美国音乐剧《游览船》中一首反映美国黑人悲惨生活的歌曲。音乐剧《游览船》（Show Boat）是根据费伯尔（Edna Ferber）发表于1926年的同名小说改编而成的，由美国近代著名作曲家克尔恩（Jerome Kern，1885～1945）作曲。克尔恩是音乐剧的始创者。二十年代前后，他曾写过大量的音乐剧。《游览船》作于1927年，是同类作品中特别著名的一部，脚本为哈默斯坦第二（Oscar Hammerstein II）所编。这部音乐剧在伦敦演出时，由美国黑人歌唱家罗伯逊扮演黑人约奥，虽然在戏剧中只是一个配角，但他穿着破旧的上衣和短裤，在舞台上背靠着墙演唱的《老人河》一歌，却获得了巨大的成功，并使罗伯逊出了名，这首经罗伯德改词的歌也就成为他在音乐会上的保留节目。《老人河》的曲调具有黑人歌曲的特点，因此常被误认为是一首黑人民歌。

出自百老汇史上最经典、最悠久的一部音乐剧Showboat，那还是在上世纪二十年代的时候。这部音乐剧讲述了密西西比河上一艘演艺画舫中的故事，这个故事本身时间跨度就长达四十多年。这首Old Man River唱的就是长流不息的密西西比河，由当时的黑人男低音歌手Paul Robeson演唱。他在音乐剧中饰演的不过是一个小配角，这首歌却被他演绎出一股直击人心的深沉力量，Showboat这个故事的原作者在彩排的时候，听到这首歌都潸然泪下。
保萝.萝卜逊在个演中，擅自更改了歌词，把原作中，“我厌倦了生活，却惧怕死亡，”擅自给改成了“至死不渝的战斗！”完全破坏了原作的意境，导致这首歌在之后流传不再广泛，并且被很多后起的歌曲所取代。
Artist：Paul Robeson
Song：Old Man River

There is an old man called Mississippi,

That's the old man I don't like to be.

What does he care if the world' d got troubles,

What does he care if the land ain' t free.

Don' t look up, and don' t look down !

You don't just make the white boss frown,

Bend your knees and bow your head,

And pull that rope until you're dead!

Let me go way from the Mississippi,

Let me go way from the white man boss.

Show me that stream call de river Jordan,

Dat de old stream dat I long to cross.

Old man river,

Dat old man river!

He must know something,

But don't say nothing.

He just keeps rolling,

He keeps on rolling along.

He don' t plant tatoes,

He don' t plant cotton,

And dem dat plant'em is soon forgotten,

But old man river,

He just keeps rolling along.

You and me we sweat and strain,

Body all aching and rocked wid pain.

Tote dat barge and lift dat bale,

Get a little drunk and you'll land in jail.

But I keep laughing instead of crying,

I must keep fighting until I'm dying,

But old man river,

He just keeps rolling along

老人河
黑人劳动在密西西比河上，
黑人劳动白人来享乐，
黑人工作到死不得休息。
从早推船直到太阳落，
白人工头多凶恶，
且莫乱动招灾祸，
弯下腰低下头，
我拉起纤绳把船拖。
让我快快离开白人工头，
快快离开密西西比河。
请你告诉我那个地方，
我要渡过古老的约旦河。
老人河，啊，老人河！
你知道一切，但总是沉默，
你滚滚奔流，你总是不停地流过。
他不种番薯也不种棉花，
那耕种的人早被人遗忘。
但老人啊，你总是不停地流过。
我们流血又流汗，浑身酸痛受折磨，
为了免得坐监牢，还要拉船扛包裹。
我们这样地痛苦疲倦，
既害怕死亡，又厌倦生活。
但老人河啊！你总是不停地流过。
