Old black water, keep on rollin' Mississippi moon won't you keep on shinin' on me?

wo mama, gonna make everything all right
Well I ain't got no worries 'cause I ain't in no hurry at all

Chorus
I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland, pretty momma gonna 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, I'd like to Repeat an fade
