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 keep 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 that's 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

Keep on shinin' your light

Gonna make everything everything

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
