Black Water

Patrick simmons



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
