[Verse 1] Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floating Old Mississippi, she's calling my name Catfish are jumping, that paddle wheel thumping Black water keeps rolling on past just the same [Chorus] Old black water, keep on rolling Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shining on me? Old black water, keep on rolling Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shining on me? Old black water, keep on rolling Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shining on me? Yeah, keep on shining your light Gonna make everything, pretty mama Gonna make everything alright And I ain't got no worries cause I ain't in no hurry at all [Verse 2] Well, if it rains, I don't care! Don't make no difference to me Just take that street car that's going up town Yeah, I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland And dance the honky tonk And I'll be buying everybody drinks all round [Chorus] Old black water, keep on rolling Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shining on me? Old black water, keep on rolling Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shining on me? Old black water, keep on rolling Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shining on me? Keep on shining your light Gonna make everything, everything Gonna make everything alright And I ain't got no worries cause I ain't in no hurry at all [Breakdown] I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland Pretty mama, come and take me by the hand By the hand, hand, take me by the hand, pretty mama Come and dance with your daddy all night long I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland Pretty mama, come and take me by the hand By the hand, hand, take me by the hand, pretty mama Come and dance with your daddy all night long I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland Pretty mama, come and take me by the hand By the hand, hand, take me by the hand, pretty mama Come and dance with your daddy all night long I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland Pretty mama, come and take me by the hand By the hand, hand, take me by the hand, pretty mama Come and dance with your daddy all night long I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland Pretty mama, come and take me by the hand By the hand, hand, take me by the hand, pretty mama Come and dance with your daddy all night long I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland Pretty mama, come and take me by the hand
