Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

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 every thing
Pretty mama, gonna make every thing 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 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 a round

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 every thing
Pretty mama, gonna make every thing 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, 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 honkey tonk, honkey, tonk, )
( honkey tonk, with you all night long )

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, 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, take me by the hand, pretty mama,
come and dance with your daddy all night long
