Blackwater Songtext
von The Doobie Brothers

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 streetcar 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 (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
I want to honky tonk, honky tonk, honky tonk
(Take me by the hand, Take me by the hand pretty Mama)
(Come and dance with your daddy all night long)
With you all night long

I′d like to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty Mama come and take me by the hand
(Take me 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
C′mon baby, c'mon baby
(Take me 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
(Take me by the hand, Take me by the hand pretty Mama)
(Come and dance with your daddy all night long)
C' mon baby, c′mon baby
I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty Mama come and take me by the hand
(Take me 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
