Black Water

Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floating

Old Mississippi, she's calling my name

Catfish are jumping, that paddle wheel thumping

Black water keeps rolling on past just the same

(Old black water, keep on rolling) Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shining on me?

(Old black water, keep on rolling) Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shining on me?

(Old black water, keep on rolling) Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shining on me?

Yeah, keep on shining your light

Gonna make everything, pretty mama

Gonna make everything alright

And I ain't got no worries 'cause I ain't in no hurry at all

Well, if it rains, I don't care!

Don't make no difference to me

Just take that street car that's going uptown

Yeah, I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland

And dance a honky tonk

And I'll be buying everybody drinks all 'round

(Old black water, keep on rolling) Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shining on me?

(Old black water, keep on rolling) Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shining on me?

(Old black water, keep on rolling) Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shining on me?

Keep on shining your light

Gonna make everything, everything

Gonna make everything alright

And I ain't got no worries 'cause I ain't in no hurry at all

I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland

Pretty mama, come and take me by the hand (By the hand)

Hand (Take me by the hand, pretty mama)

Come and dance with your daddy all night long

I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland

Pretty mama, come and take me by the hand (By the hand, I wanna honky tonk)

Take me by the hand, pretty mama (Honky tonk, pretty mama)

Come and dance with your daddy all night long (With you all night long)

I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland

Pretty mama, come and take me by the hand (By the hand, I wanna honky tonk)
