The Doobie Brothers Black Water Lyrics

Well, I built me a raft
and she's ready for floatin'
On Mississippi, she's callin' my name
Catfish are jumpin'
that paddle wheel thumpin'
Black water keeps rollin'
on path 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, it 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 round

(*)

I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland, pretty momma come and take me by the hand,
By the hand(hand), take me by the hand(pretty momma), come and dance with your daddy all night long,
(I want to honky-tonk,honky-tonk, honky-tonk, with you all night long)

Come on baby, Come on baby,
