Doobie Brothers - Black Water (High Quality)

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!

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

sounds better live than on the record, most unusual.

[knarisa]

@hd4ms agreed!

This stands out to me as one of the highest moments of rock n roll. You've got old-time elements, dixie and blues with so much rhythm and soul you don't even need a band, you could just sing it in the middle of a wheat field. You've got outstanding narrative lyric, structure, counterpoint, and this amazing band. For me a favorite song of all time.

Ultimate rock'n'roll hoedown! Lovin' that trill-tuned fiddle. The plethora of finely blended instruments and voices is a symphonic assault of glory.

If this doesn't reach your soul, you don't have one yet. Keep trying.

The fiddler has a nice ass.

Still sounds as good today as it did all those years ago, and thank god Tom is back in the band was not the same without him. Thanks for putting this up for all us old folks to enjoy and would you pass that dobbie over here please :)

@irvnz How old are you kid?

[1971Missmarilyn]

All you people try to dissect the music too much. Mellow out and just enjoy it. Not everyone expects a theory on every subject. lay back and enjoy it.
