Black Water
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 keeps rollin' on down to the sea
Chorus
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' Mississippi moon won't you keep
on shinin' on me?
keep on shinin' your light, gonna make every thing
wo mama, gonna make everything all right
Well I ain't got no worries 'cause I ain't in no hurry at all
Instrumental
If it rains, I don't care, don't make no difference to me
Just take that street car that's goin' up town
Oh yeah, I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland and dance a honky
tonk
and I'll be buyin' everybody drinks all night long
Chorus
I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland, pretty momma gonna and
take me by the hand
by the hand, take me by the hand pretty momma,
come and dance with your daddy all night long, I'd like
to... Repeat an fade
ol' Mississippi, she's callin' my name
Catfish are jumpin' that paddle wheel thumpin'
Black water keeps rollin' on down to the sea
Chorus
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' Mississippi moon won't you keep
on shinin' on me?
keep on shinin' your light, gonna make every thing
wo mama, gonna make everything all right
Well I ain't got no worries 'cause I ain't in no hurry at all
Instrumental
If it rains, I don't care, don't make no difference to me
Just take that street car that's goin' up town
Oh yeah, I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland and dance a honky
tonk
and I'll be buyin' everybody drinks all night long
Chorus
I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland, pretty momma gonna and
take me by the hand
by the hand, take me by the hand pretty momma,
come and dance with your daddy all night long, I'd like
to... Repeat an fade
