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 ev'rything, pretty mama,
gonna make ev'rything alright
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?
Yeah, keep on shinin' your light,
gonna make ev'rything, pretty mama,
gonna make ev'rything alright
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
I want to honkey-tonk, honkey-tonk, honkey-tonk,
with you all night long
