(Wanna hear some Funky Dixieland 
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand)

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
When fate's 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
Give me lazy days with nothing better to do than singing 
Oh, black water keep on rolling while I wait for you
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

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 a late night in Vegas

It's true 
That's what we do when we're 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 'til the time is right
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
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

Hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty mama, come and take me by the hand
Wanna hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty mama, here she comes 

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
Let old black water bring us together 

You, I got you, I got you , I got you, baby
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

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

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
