one "old" at the beginning of the first two lines while you hear two.
Additionally, there is another version of the video at
http://www.56.com/u63/v_NDA4OTkzNzI.html
and it even has the caption in English but with errors. And the sound
quality appears to be better, though I am not quite sure if there is
any glitch there.
I hear the last line (indistinctly) as:
All the time have we been much too long.

Matt is largely correct.
Old Old is correct.
Agreed. I might punctuate it, "Old, old Mississippi".

I'm getting "All the time of weepin' was too long," with no glitch
this time.
I'm also getting the feeling that the writer and director had seen at
least one version of /Show Boat/.

But also somewhat incorrect.
As others have pointed out, the sixth line is actually:
"Old old Mississippi, way down carry me"
and the last, which you can hear better on the second version, is:
"All the time of weeping was too long"
Ho-hum. |
