Ol'ManRiver这是一首反映美国黑人悲惨生活的歌曲。它的作者演唱者是黑人歌唱家PaulRobeson。同时，此曲也是电影ShowBoat（画航璇宫）的插曲。
1928年，英国伦敦的一家歌剧院里，正在举行音乐剧《游览船》的首场演出。一位在剧中饰演黑人搬运工的保罗·罗伯逊唱道：“我们这样的痛苦、疲倦，既害怕死亡，又厌倦生活。但老人河啊，却总是不停的流过。”那深厚的男低音充满了感人肺腑的力量，激发了阵阵如雷般的掌声，演唱者也一举成名。
曾三次改编成电影，美国著名黑人歌唱家PaulRobeson在1936年发行的电影《Showboat演船》中的演唱，最为经典。
1937年，在英国举行了支持西班牙共和国的群众大会，罗伯逊将《Ol'ManRiver》的歌词改为“我们要乐观地继续战斗下去，直到死为止”，表达了人们维护和平与正义的呼声，激起到会群众震耳欲聋的欢呼声。这首反映美国黑人悲惨生活的歌曲，迅速传遍了全世界，至今常在音乐会上演出。
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
