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
