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
