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 everything, 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 thats goin' up town
|
Yeah, I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland
|
And dance a honky tonk
|
And I'll be buyin' ev'rybody 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 everything, 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 mama come and take me by the hand
|
By the hand, take me by the hand pretty mama
|
Come and dance with your daddy all night long
|
I want to honky tonk, honky tonk, honky tonk
|
With you all night long
