Black Water Lyrics

Black Water lyrics

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)
