High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! "Ol' Man River" (music by Jerome Kern, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II) is a song in the 1927 musical Show Boat, that contrasts African American hardship and struggles of the time with the endless, uncaring flow of the Mississippi River, from the point-of-view of a dock worker on a showboat.It is the most famous song from the show. It is sung complete, once, by the black dock worker "Joe" who travels with the boat, and is re-sung three times more in brief reprises. Joe serves as a sort of musical one-man Greek chorus, and the song, when reprised, comments on the action, as if saying, "This has happened, but the river keeps rolling on anyway".
