Lyrics
Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin'
Ol' Mississippi, she's callin' my name
Catfish are jumpin', that paddle wheel thumpin'
Black water keep rollin' on past just the same
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
New York moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Keep on shinin' 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 goin' up town
Yeah, I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland
And dance a honky tonk
I can buy me for drinks all around, hey-hey
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old black water, keep on rollin'
New York moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Yeah, keep on shinin' 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, woo
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 (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 (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 (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, hand (come on, baby)
Take me by the hand, pretty mamy (come on, baby)
Come and dance with your daddy all night long
Black water, black water
Black water, black water
Black water
