This song is about a guy from the 19th century. Back then farmers, along the Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri rivers would build large rafts after harvest and load them up with their crops, goods and wares. And they would float all the way down the river(s) to New Orleans and then they would sell all their products. They were on the 'Ol black water but not in it. It's black because at night, bodies of water appear to be black. Once he has sold everything and has some free time, he goes honky tonking in the city. Dancing with some "pretty mama". After a couple days, he would book passage on a north bound steam boat and head home with his money for his family etc. That's pretty much the song in a nutshell.

Asia & BJ, you will love their "Jesus Is Just Alright"(banger and favorite along with Black Water) !! Great reaction to "Black Water"!!!

Every morning when I'm making coffee, I sing ♪ "O black water, keep on perkin'...."♫ Ya just gotta love the Doobies!

[brianherrington]

You can’t go wrong with any Doobies song especially the original line up from 71-74. The entire album The Captain and Me is a masterpiece. My favorite song of theirs is Another Lonely Park Another Sunday.

14 years old and rocking to this song when it hit the radio. Bought the Album "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits". This band has had quite a few transformations and all of them rock. L💞ve from Canada!

[annmills]

Saw them in concert 2 weeks ago and it was AMAZING ! ☮️💜

[bkm]

A penny for BJ's thoughts, lol, looked like you were in a trance! Catchy little tune that I haven't heard in decades. Thanks Asia and BJ.

[hankarmentrout]

Once again singing it word for word. Was great growing up to this music and glad y’all found it.

[rellek]

Interesting fact the Doobie Brother's performed this on the 70's sitcom What's Happening
Re - Run was caught illegally (bootlegging) recording the show

[joelliebler]

One of the coolest rock/ country tunes of that era with fantastic harmonies!👍🏻❤️☮️🎤

[gregorybennett]

As a kid, this was a song that really taught me about harmonies. Great song.

Since y'all like going to New Orleans, you'll recognize their love song to the city. The band had an extended stay there early in the 70s. They even named one of their albums Toulouse Street, after the street in the French Quarter. Can't go wrong with the Doobies.

I would and have many many times gone swimming in water where you can't see your feet, most places don't have things in the water that can hurt you and if it does they leave when you start splashing around... now don't get me wrong, I'm not swimming in the ocean at night, and I'm not getting in any place that had gators day or night...

When I was little, my dad always use to take me night fishing. We would wade a river near our farm at night. The water would get up to his abdomen, but it would get up to my arm pits in some places. We would cast our bait ahead of us and let it float down while we walked along slowly reeling it back to us. We caught catfish and bass. BUT that water was dark, and you couldn't see anything. I would feel along the bottom of the river bed, sometimes really muddy, sometimes lots of gravel. My dad told me to "shuffle my feet" along the river bottom because he didn't want me to step on a snapping turtle. He said if I shuffled my feet a turtle would swim off in a bumped into it, but if I stepped on it in my bite me. My feet would bump into submerged objects like a stick or big rock... sometimes the things I bumped into would move! There were big turtles in that river. And the the snakes... My dad had hat with a head lamp on so he could see. I stuck right beside him but I couldn't hold a flashlight in my hand as well as my fishing pole. But he would always look behind us to make sure nothing was sneaking up. All along the way we would see snakes swimming across the river up ahead of us, and sometimes we we see them swimming across behind us. Once we saw a big cottonmouth coiled up in the roots of a tree on a steep bank not more than 20 feet away from us. I was so freaking scared I never left my dad's side. We waded at least a half mile before getting out and walking back to my dads truck. But we had a nice string of fish to show for it. But damn.... wading through that dark water sure was scary when you're only 9 or 10...
Every time I hear this song, I always think of night fishing with my dad.

They covered this song in my junior high music class to talk about the musical style. Loved it since. I live 10 minutes from the Mississippi River… Give me see-thru pool water any day.

[donnakubiski]

I've always loved this song and actually had it on a 45 record when it was a "B" side. My second favorite song of theirs is "Toulouse Street" which has a very haunting melody. I would love to see you do a reaction to it.

[andreadeamon]

I'm the same way - if i don't see my feet - I'm not going in there!

[peridotdiamondruby]

If I can’t see through the water, I ain’t getting in! 😂😂💜👻💜

[markcolborn]

I've always loved this song--one of their best and most unique vibes. Long Train Running is my other fave Doobie song--crazy funky guitar rift that just gets in your bones. Can't go wrong with the Doobies

[Serai]

One of my Top Five songs. The images, the great musicianship, the lazy vibe. Just love it. One of the best songs of the 70's, or anytime, for that matter. :)
