Well I built me raft
And she's ready for floatin'
Old Mississippi, she's callin' my name
Catfish are jumpin'
That paddle will froth it
Black water keep rollin' on fast as the sea
Oh, black water keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shinin' on me
Oh, black water keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shinin' on me
Oh, 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 streetcar that's goin' uptown
Yeah, I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland
And the answer honktonk
And I'll be buyin' everybody drinks all around
Oh, black water keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shinin' on me
Oh, black water keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shinin' on me
Oh, 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'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'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
