TITLE: Black Water
Lyrics and Chords
Well, I built me a raft
And she's ready for floatin'
Old Mississippi, she's calling my name
Catfish are jumpin'
That paddle wheel pumpin'
Black water keep rollin' on past just the same
/ Am7 D / :
{Refrain}
Oh black water, keep on rolling
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shining on me
{Repeat first two lines twice more}
Yeah, keep on shining 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
/ G - / Bb - / : / A Em7 / : / D Am7 / / A Em7 /
Well if it rains I don't care
Don't make no difference to me
Just take that streetcar that's goin' uptown
Yeah, I like to hear some funky Dixieland
And dance some honky tonk
And I be buyin' everybody drinks all 'round
{Refrain}
I 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 like to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand
By the hand, hand
I want to honky tonk
Take me by the hand, pretty mama
Honky tonk, honky tonk
Come on and dance with your daddy all night long
With you all night long
{Repeat to fade}
