Black Water
The Doobie Brothers


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 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'
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shinin' on me?
Yeah, keep on shinin' your light, gonna make every thing
Pretty mama, gonna make everything all right
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, and I'll
be
buyin' everybody drinks all roun'-------
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?
Yeah, keep on shinin' your light, gonna make every thing
Pretty mama, gonna make everything all right
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 momma come and take me
by the hand, by the hand, take me by the hand,
(I want to honky-tonk) (honky-tonk)
pretty momma, come and dance with your daddy all night long, I'd like
to...
(honky-tonk) (with you all night long)
