[Verse 1]
Hey, did you hear about the one that got away, they say he looked left
She turned right-meant to be together but not that night
It's when fates running late, we tend to make mistakes
We go round and round from love to love
It's either way too much or not enough
Gimme lazy days with nothing better to do
Than singing oh black water keep on rolling while I wait for you
[Chorus]
I don't care if it rains, I'll be just fine
I'm leaving the ghosts behind until I got you I got you
You're the sun through my window, warming my skin Oh you
I got you
[Verse 2]
Hey then when one of them was taken, the other one was waiting
For the next big thing
To bring them to the gates of heaven or maybe just late night in Vegas
It's true that's what we do when were going down swinging
Then coming up singing the blues
Wearing out my shoes-chasing new faces to get to you-
Driving home on a summer night
Singing old black water keep on rolling- till the time is right
[Chorus]
I don't care if it rains, I'll be just fine sit back enjoy the ride
Until I got you I got you you're the sun through my window
Warming my skin, oh you I got you Like Sonny and Cher
Except I'll be there for you , I got you
[Verse 3]
Let old black water bring us together
Old black water keep on rolling
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shining on me
Old black water keep on rolling
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shining on me
Want to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty Mama come on take me by the hand
Want to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty Mama
Here she comes, I got you I got you
[Chorus]
You're the sun through my window warming my skin oh you
I got you like Sonny and Cher you know I'll be there for you
I got you let old black water bring us together
You, I got you, I got you , I got you baby
[Outro]
By the hand hand take me by the hand
Pretty mama dance with your daddy all night long wanna hear some
Funky Dixieland pretty mama come and take me by the hand
Take me by the hand
Pretty mama
Want to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty Mama come on take me by the hand
Hip, hip, take me by the hip
Pretty mama
Dance with your daddy all night long
Want to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty Mama come on take me by the hand
