Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin'..
ole 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'.
Old black water, keep on rollin'..
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shinin'..
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.
(INTERLUDE:)
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' everybody drinks all round.
Old black water, keep on rollin'..
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shinin'.
Old black water, keep on rollin'..
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shinin'..
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,
everything, gonna make everything all right.
And I ain't got no worries 'cause I ain't in no hurry..at all.
(INTERLUDE:)
I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland, pretty momma come and take me
by the hand..
By the hand, take me by the hand, pretty momma..
come and dance with your daddy, all night long.
( Cappella)
I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland, pretty momma come and take me

By the hand, take me by the hand, pretty momma..

I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland, pretty momma come and take me
by the hand..
By the hand, take me by the hand, pretty momma..

I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland, pretty momma come and take me
by the hand..
By the hand, take me by the hand, pretty momma..
come and dance with your daddy, all night long. (Fade.)
