Standard (EADGBE)

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 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

 Gimme lazy days with nothing better to do than singing

Old 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 till the time is right

I don't care if it rains, I'll be just fine

 Sit back, enjoy the rude 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

Solo

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?

Wanna 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 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

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
