Lyrics

Well, I (Am7)built me a raft and she's ready for floatin';

ol' (D)Mississippi, she's (Am7)callin' my name.

Catfish are (D)jumpin', that (Am7)paddle wheel thumpin',

black water keeps rollin' on past just the same.

(G)Old black water, keep on rollin'.

(Bb)Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on (G)me?

black water, keep on rollin'.

(Bb)Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on (G)me?

black water, keep on rollin'.

(Bb)Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on (Em7)me?

Yeah, keep on (A)shinin' your (Em7)light,

gonna make (A)(Em7)ev'rything, pretty mama, gonna (A)make ev'rything all (Em7)right.

And I (D)ain't got no (Am7)worries 'cause I (D)ain't in no (Am7)hurry at (A)all.

(D)Well, if it (Am7)rains,

I don't care, don't make no difference to me;

(D)just take that (Am7)streetcar that's goin' uptown.

(D)Yeah, I'd like to (Am7)hear some funky (D)Dixieland and dance a honkytonk,

and I'll be (Am7)buyin' ev'rybody drinks (D)all 'roun'.

(D)I'd like to (Am7)hear some funky (D)Dixieland,

pretty mama, come and take me by the hand.

By the (Am7)hand,

take me by the (D)hand, pretty mama,

come and (Am7)dance with your daddy all night long.
