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
