I couldn't believe that there wasn't a decent video of this song on here yet! Plus, it's another favorite Doobie Bros song of mine. From 1996 in New York. It's a great song, enjoy! =) Oh, and leave a comment!

Takin' It To The Streets video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G54lfx...

Lyrics:
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 everything, pretty mama
Gonna make everything 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 thats goin' up town
Yeah, I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland
And dance a honky tonk
And I'll be buyin' ev'rybody drinks all 'roun'

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 everything, everything
Gonna make everything 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

    Saw Pat Simmons today at a vintage motorcycle show in North Carolina. He is a big fan and was host of the show. He wrote and is the lead singer of "Black Water". The Doobie Brothers was one of my favorite bands back in the day. It was great to see him.

    LOL..I guess that's why they charted all through the 70s. How did your recordings do ? How much money did you make?
