My favorite Doobie Brothers song. Black water just means the Mississippi River. They're simply celebrating New Orleans.

[KarlaElaine]

Almost fifty years later and this song never gets old!

"China Grove" is a fantastic song! Oh, all the memories....

No double entendres here. The Moon is shining on the dark water of the Mississippi River. The river boats have big paddle wheels on them for a way to push them down the river. The Honky Tonk is where you go to dance to Dixieland music in New Orleans. They have a lot of them and you can walk from one to another.

The Doobie Brothers was my stepdad’s favorite band. I got the call that he had passed away while I was at work. During the drive home Black Water came on my iTunes and it broke me. I had to pull over to have a good cry and listen to the rest of the song. RIP Dad.

It's the Mississippi river, and a honkytonk is commonly defined in the early 1900's as a "low" dancehall/saloon, with loud raucous music ... and patrons.

Black Water is the silty, muddy water that floats down the Mississippi that settles in the delta

[Looneyintheboonies]

PLEASE BP, do their banger awesome song, "JESUS IS JUST ALRIGHT WITH ME" next!! You cannot keep still, you have to be dancing, tapping a toe or wiggling to the beat in your chair and singing along at the very least, to that song about Jesus! 🙏❤ 💃🎸🎵🇺🇲

This is my favorite Doobie Brothers song!! I was in Junior High School when it was released. I’ll soon be 64 years old.

"Patrick Simmons wrote and sang lead on "Black Water" while the band was in New Orleans. Simmons was a fan of Delta blues and had previously visited New Orleans for a Doobie Brothers gig in 1971.

The Doobie Brothers' song "Black Water" is about the Mississippi River and the South, and is inspired by Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. "

That was a viola (bigger than a violin but smaller than a cello) 😁Patrick Simmons wrote and sang lead on this one and he was obsessed with New Orleans and the Mississippi Delta. The song was his tribute to the place and lifestyle! Thanks BP! Fun Fact: song was originally released as a “B” side to another single but was re-released as a single because it was so popular and it became a #1 hit!❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

Boy BP, got that 100% wrong in the end. It was about just what it was about, the Mississippi River, the moon shinning down making the water look black, New Orleans and going to a honky-tonk, dancing, drinking and having a good time on the bayou,

[Chical]

There was a renaissance of music in the 70's & 80's, Eagles, Doobies, Journey, Kiss, Police, Genesis, Ozzy, Foreigner, Little Rive Band, Chicago, REO, YES, Bad Company, Aerosmith, ELO, CARS, Steve Miller, its an endless list.

The Doobie Brothers... one of the coolest rabbit holes you can go down. You really need to take that dive.

[gracemichelli.am]

Love this by Doobie Brothers. 🔥❤️
The Mississippi flows down to New Orleans where Dixieland music is played in honky tonks (bars). He even talks about the street car in NOLA. ❤

[krawphish]

He wrote this while riding on a street car in New Orleans on St. Charles Ave. My favorite Doobie song

[philsdon]

The Mississippi River is black at night. River boats have paddles that thump on the water and usually have live music. It's a New Orleans thing.

[chickeastwater]

Honky Tonk - where the booze flows, bands jam & people dance

[JerseyBA]

mississippi moon keep on shining on.the black water because its nightime.water looks black..

[JohnPaul-hmys]

I have loved this sing since it came out. I can't hear windchimes without singing a verse in my head. Glad you finally heard it.
