Talking about being on a river boat on the Mississippi River. Muddy water-black water.
Honky tonk is a bar you dance in
I agree but he's talking about the way the river looks at night, atleast what I thought. Mississippi moon keep shining on me.
Nah, he's talking about floating down to New Orleans on his new RAFT. The paddlewheel riverboats are passing him by. The catfish are jumping and the moon is full.
One of the best evocative lyrics of all time.
I agree a honky--tonk is a bar with music, perhaps from a piano player, and dancing.
I think the meaning is this....he was sitting watching the river at night and how the moonlight shone on the water. He didn't have any worries. He wasn't in a hurry. Then he went uptown and watched some live music in the genres of funky dixieland and honky tonk. He had some drinks and bought rounds of drinks for people. He had a good time and especially enjoyed the music. He danced with a pretty mama.
"Blackwater" is slang for the Mississippi River.
And that's because the water looks dark :) Hence why they called it 'black water'. There just describing what the water looks like.
A honky tonk is a country bar and/or party. Anyone is welcome.

3:14 - well now you have to do “Honkey Tonk Women” by The Rolling Stones.
Or Honky Cat by Elton John
Love it!!
Honky Tonk Girl, Loretta Lynn
Honkey Tonk Women by the Stones was the song my husband and I had our first dance to at our wedding reception. He asked me to marry him with while listening Isis on the Bob Dylan album Desire.
"Am I allowed to Honky Tonk? Being black and all..." My friend, being black and all... you invented Honky Tonk! Ok...I want you to read this carefully, Mr. Video, because I'm about to lay something on you that is REAL and TRUE. Up until the 1950's in America there was White music and Black music (they called it "race music" back then). Then in the 1950's some White kids in the South grew up listening to Black music, and some Black kids in the South grew up listening to White music. Those kids put them together and created Rock And Roll. And Rock And Roll... changed the WORLD. American Black and American White, together, changed the world. You think Ronald Reagan brought down the Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall? No. It was MTV, Levis and Coca Cola. American culture. Together, we can do anything. It is proven. As you go through your journey of discovering this music, I want you to remember... it is as much yours as it is mine. It is ours. Welcome to your history. I have never been to a Honky Tonk. But it is now on my Bucket List to go to my first Honky Tonk with Mr. Video. And yes, I AM stoned. But it's still true! hahahaha! - Your GOAT in Thailand.
Yup!
Watch the movie Shake rattle and roll
All about that time!!!
Good movie 2parts.
Good history reminder in these times.
Well said and brava!
If you've never been to a Honky Tonk.. I'm impressed! Hell I wanna go with you both also! Best place to go honky-tonkin... Texas
If you can dance then you can honky-tonk
Watch Trace Adkins song Badonkadonk
I came from Compton,California to Kissimmee ,Florida in 1976 as a teen. I know all about the times you're referring to...great lesson !
❤ great post!
DUDE! You gotta listen to "Listen To The Music" and "Long Train Runnin'" by the Doobie Brothers
I'm still waiting for the Blunt Sisters to start making music
Yes! “Listen to the Music” is my fav!!!
Blunt sisters 😂😂
yes with Micheal McDonald
Watch Take me in your Arms/ Rock me a little while.. The Doobie Brothers
Another vote for "Listen to the Music"
Honkey tonk is a old school bar. Country joint.
He's singing about enjoying life floating down the dark water of the Mississippi River that runs down the middle of the country and out to the Gulf of Mexico. You need to go for a chill boat ride with a big hybrid blunt and enjoy the ride.
“Jesus is just alright” by the doobie brothers is the jam too!
Ooo yes, good request
Dang I 4got about that one....oh yes it's one of my favs of all time. Amazing song you have to hear Vid!
That's a wonderful song💚
Yep! I just posted this too!
I'm going to date myself here..I had the 45 of Black Water Jesus is just alright was on the flipside! 🎧👍
He is talking about the black waters of the Mississippi river. Keep rolling and let those full moon nights keep shining
Blackwater is stained water that has tannins from leaves bark and driftwood and other organic materials in it. It's clear water not muddy water. And usually found in the southern states up north the rivers are usually red.
That's what they call brackish right?
@@psychoalien6798 brackish water is freshwater and saltwater mix
Everyone should just rent a riverboat when this is over for a good ol fashioned hootenanny. ❤🤷♀️
Yep! We have one we called a hootennanny! That would have really thrown him off! Lol
Yeehaw sista
Oh Hell yeah!
The whole song is wrapped around the Mississippi River (aka. Black Water)
“Honky Tonk Man” - Dwight Yoakam
Which is actually a honky-tonk song.
Right on! Love the Doobies, Long Train Rinnin is a must. 😘💓🕊
Chillin life on the river.
I know you would have fun with Bob Dylan‘s Everybody Must Get Stoned.
The actual title of which is "Rainy Day Women #12 and #35" - not as easy to remember. From "Blonde on Blonde". Superb album. Will likely get blocked, so find a live version.
Far be it for me to presume... but, black water is the muddy mississippi river, Our traveller ends up in New Orleans where in a 'Honky Tonk' (which is a 'dive bar that plays live music).That pretty mama, is some nice looking women and he asks her to take his hand and 'dance with you all night long' Yes that is a violin, but in the blue grass genre, it is called a fiddle, generally it is accompanied by a banjo and a guitar, however, in this case the banjo is absent.
Now to my point. You are black, smoking a doobie, and just got out of the water..
I'd say you had much in common! Keep up the great reactions!! you are awesome.
Black water, Mississippi moon. Goin dine the river at night. Honky tonk is a dive bar that plays nasally live music, plus, I wanted to type Mississppi
I think there simply was some artistic license being used here. The Mississippi River flowing from the clays of the far north is muddy water with lots of dissolved red/brown clays in it, but much of the waters originating in the Deep South are clearer black waters from the tannins being released from the decaying vegetation in the southern waters slowly flowing over sand bottoms, resembling a clear dark black tea. Black water sounds more romantic than brown muddy water.
I also think the Honky Tonk might be on board a paddle-wheeler headed up or down the Mighty Mississip. Always loved this song even in my youth.
Miykael1933 I love encyclopedic minds! I learn so much from the contributions made in comments such as yours! Keep the trivia coming!
Mississippi MOON keep on SHINING on me. Moonshine. He's talking about heading uptown to party and dance with "Pretty Mama".....hot chicks... It's not a complicated song, lyrically, but it is a cool song. Ole boy likes to drink and dance, and plays awesome music.
All these years and I never caught the "moonshine" reference. Thought it was just the moon... lol
A honky-tonk (also called honkatonk, honkey-tonk, or tonk) is both a bar that provides country music for the entertainment of its patrons and the style of music played in such establishments. Bars of this kind are common in the South and Southwest United States.
Beer joints
Where we have swamps and wetlands we have what is called Black Water. The Mississippi, the Ichetucknee, the Chattahoochee, the Suwannee, wherever there are cypress trees, you have black water.
It's clean water that has a very dark color from the tannic acid that seeps into the water from the cypress trees (which grow in standing water in the South).
You know, where the gators live!
in the 90's I lived in Africa for 6 months and this tune was one of my
"go to" tunes when I was tired of being far from home!
Before Michael McDonald, when The Doobies were a guitar band!
This song is the musical essence of floating down a river.
I’m remarkably ignorant about music, but the Doobie Brothers are an absolute treat to listen to.
Song is just about chillin'. Relax when you can.
The got the name from passing around the doobie.... serious... lol
Yeah...finally "Black Water"! Bringing back childhood memories, listening to this song on my transistor radio and loving it. 😃
💖 Those Doobie Brothers 👍
Honky Tonk is your favorite bar, hole in wall, good music, good drinks and kick back. Black Water is the depth of the Mississippi River that makes the water look charcoal black before runs into Gulf of Mexico
My parents went to go see the doobie brothers at Roanoke Civic Center in Roanoke, VA. Black water was on the B side of a 45 record. The doobie brothers played black water for the first time at that concert. Then the radio stations caught on and started playing black water on the radio. The rest was history...
Black water refers to a river, a lake, a creek, or a swamp that has a lot of tannic acid in it due to the rotting vegetation. First time I heard this song was when I was a teenager and I didn't know what Black water referred to until I went to the Okefenokee swamp and they explained about the tannic water.
The Doobie Brothers is an awesome band. They have a lot of cool songs and yeah, this is one of them too. It's just so chill :)
I saw these guys' in concert in Seattle back in 1975. Sorta country, sorta funky, and all rock and Roll. They sound as good live, as they do on their records. Great Band.
I remember to this day where I was when we were listening to this album when it first came out. Me and 3 friends were sitting in living room after school smoking a big blunt listening to this. Jesus is all right is one of the songs that hit me. This is a great album!
Yes I’m a Mississippi native!! I love this song!! Honky Tonk is a joint... a bar Hhahaha ❤️Tennessee
Same- born and raised.. and still here!
YES...Honky Tonk Woman- The Rolling Stones
A Honky Tonk is a bar with live music. (Started as white people playing black music) Black water refers to Mississippi River. Song is about being on the Riverboat Queen, cruising down the Mississippi River playing live music, dancing, drinking with no worries. This was a drive song in my family. You know when the radio used to cut out and everyone would sing together. Well it used to be a thing.
Black water is what they call the Mississippi river!
I love how you call your boys knuckleheads, you mean it so lovingly, you can hear it in your voice😀
Its about people that from the MAN that killed the best river in America! Started to not care about the water ways...Black water was the pollution in Missassippi. We care about lives matter, Black Lives Matter,. This is a great song!
Black Water is the Mississippi River. Honky Tonk is a bar with dancing.
Smokin' a Doobie Brother with ya brother, while I listen to you listening to my childhood music.
😊
Emerson Lake and Palmer Pirates Live Montreal 1977.
Black water is the Mississippi River a Honky Tonk is a small bar where music is usually being played live.
This song is a masterpiece 🎸
Sap from the cypress trees floats on top of the water making it appear black. Because of development there are very few black water rivers left in the south.
Blackwater is a name of a lake in Georgia, outside Athens. The Mississippi river actually cut thru that swimming hole. A popular destination for the locals during the 60's and still current. "Honkytonk" is old school term like "swag" for the modern day.
*starts playing doobie brothers* *lights doobie"
You're doing this right...
The Carlton dance is strong in this one.
It’s about the Mississippi River!
Honky Tonk ( old time bar - often associated with moonshine - live music and lots of dancing)
Whenever the mighty Mississippi river is flowing fast it churns up the black mud on the bank and the water turns black. A honkytonk (aka juke joint) is a small bar in the south.
Trust me you will love" I keep forgetting I'm not in love anymore".
Half and Jai are great.
It's about being in New Orleans. Dixieland is a specifically New Orleans genre of music. A Honky Tonk is a (typically) country music bar, of which there were many in the French Quarter at the time this song was written. Black Water is the Mississippi River running by the French Quarter at night, hence the "Mississippi moon keep shining on me"
Mr Video - What does Honky Tonk mean?
Me - Okay, let me break it down for ya, in this instance it either means 1950's country/western music or Rag Time Piano music. If i said to you "we are going to a Honky Tonk tonight" That is a cheap road side Bar full of rough customers.
HONKY TONK is A country bar with some Country music with some foxy 70s BABES IN BELL BOTTOMS AND MINI SKIRTS Having a BLAST The fantstic 70s
A 'honky-tonk' is just a small tavern for drink & music & dance ...... the same as the old 'juke-joints' down south ...... And ALL are welcome to enjoy the music and fun times !
I think "Black Water" means the Mississippi river. This is my favourite Doobie Bros. song.
I think the water is black because it is night time, he asks the moon to "keep on shinin' on me". Check out more Doobie Brothers!!
Good analogy- however our river water is quite muddy, soo..
I think that that the dirt is just darker along the Mississippi, maybe because of the route it takes. Other parts of the U S has red clay earth and then other parts are just flat out sand. It’s amazing that the same thing can be grown in different areas and taste different in different earth. 🥴
Lived there. The water is black.
1974 RELEASED LOVE THEM 70s
The hockey talk is nothing but a party southern style
Black water.... Deep water....
He's talking about the Mississippi River
I believe your own interpretation of a song is the best interpretation.
Oh dear heavens. I’m laughing so hard at your pre-reaction. “I’m black, I just got outta the water and I have a doobie.” Watching now.
😀👋This was prime Junior HS skating rink sing along 4 me~ "honky tonk, honky tonk, a-honky tonk, ....witchoo all nite long"😂✌
I love their music
Honky tonk is a Bar. I tell you what react to Trace Adkins... honky Tonk Badonkadonk
A honky-tonk (also called honkatonk, honkey-tonk, or tonk) is both a bar that provides country music for the entertainment of its patrons and the style of music played in such establishments. It can also refer to the type of piano (tack piano) used to play such music. Bars of this kind are common in the South and Southwest United States. Many eminent country music artists, such as Jimmie Rodgers, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Ernest Tubb, Johnny Horton, and Merle Haggard, began their careers as amateur musicians in honky-tonks. The modern-day honky-tonk atmosphere has continued with the likes of Dwight Yoakam, Turnpike Troubadours, and Mike and the Moonpies.
The origin of the term honky-tonk is disputed, originally referring to bawdy variety shows in areas of the old West (Oklahoma, the Indian Territories and Texas) and to the actual theaters showing them.
The first music genre to be commonly known as honky-tonk was a style of piano playing related to ragtime but emphasizing rhythm more than melody or harmony; the style evolved in response to an environment in which pianos were often poorly cared for, tending to be out of tune and having some nonfunctioning keys. This honky-tonk music was an important influence on the boogie-woogie piano style. Before World War II, the music industry began to refer to hillbilly music being played from Texas and Oklahoma to the West Coast as "honky-tonk" music. In the 1950s, honky-tonk entered its golden age, with the popularity of Webb Pierce, Hank Locklin, Lefty Frizzell, Ray Price, Faron Young, George Jones, and Hank Williams.
The origin of the term honky-tonk is unknown. The earliest known use in print is an article in the Peoria Journal dated June 28, 1874, stating, "The police spent a busy day today raiding the bagnios and honkytonks." The capitalization of the term suggests that it may have been the proper name of the theater; it is not known whether the name was taken from a generic use of the term or whether the name of the theater became a generic term for similar establishments.
There are subsequent citations from 1890 in The Dallas Morning News, 1892 in the Galveston Daily News (Galveston, Texas) (which used the term to refer to an adult establishment in Fort Worth), and in 1894 in The Daily Ardmoreite in Oklahoma, Early uses of the term in print mostly appear along a corridor roughly coinciding with cattle drive trails extending from Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, into south central Oklahoma, suggesting that the term may have been a localism spread by cowboys driving cattle to market. The sound of honky-tonk (or honk-a-tonk) and the types of places that were called honky-tonks suggests that the term may be an onomatopoeic reference to the loud, boisterous music and noise heard at these establishments.
One theory is that the "tonk" portion of the name may have come from the brand name of piano made by William Tonk & Bros., an American manufacturer of large upright pianos (established 1881), which made a piano with the decal "Ernest A. Tonk". The Tonk brothers, William and Max, established the Tonk Bros. Manufacturing Company in 1873, so such an etymology is possible, however, these pianos were not manufactured until 1889, at which point the term seems to have already been established.
An early source purporting to explain the derivation of the term (spelled honkatonk) was an article published in 1900 by the New York Sun and widely reprinted in other newspapers. The article, however, reads more like a humorous urban (or open range) legend or fable, so its veracity is questionable.
An article in the Los Angeles Times of July 28, 1929, with the headline "'Honky-Tonk' Origin Told", which was probably in response to the Sophie Tucker movie musical, Honky Tonk (1929), reads:
Do you know what a honky tonk is?
Seafaring men of a few years ago knew very well, as the honky-tonks of San Francisco's Barbary Coast constituted perhaps the most vivid spots in their generally uneventful lives.
The name originated on the Barbary Coast and was applied to the low "dives" which formed so great a part of this notorious district. In these establishments, which were often of enormous size, much liquor was dispensed at the tables which crowded the floor, and entertainment of doubtful quality was given on a stage at one end of the room.
The honky tonk, as a matter of fact, was the predecessor of the present-day cabaret or night club, the principal differences being that the prices were lower and that the former establishment made no pretense of "class."
Honky-tonks were rough establishments, providing country music in the Deep South and Southwest and serving alcoholic beverages to a working-class clientele. Some honky-tonks offered dancing to music played by pianists or small bands, and some were centers of prostitution. Katrina Hazzard-Gordon wrote that the honky-tonk was "the first urban manifestation of the jook", and that "the name itself became synonymous with a style of music. Related to the classic blues in tonal structure, honky-tonk has a tempo that is slightly stepped up. It is rhythmically suited for many African-American dance."
As Chris Smith and Charles McCarron wrote in their 1916 hit song "Down in Honky Tonk Town", "It's underneath the ground, where all the fun is found."
Although the derivation of the term is unknown, honky tonk originally referred to bawdy variety shows in the West (Oklahoma and Indian Territories and Texas) and to the theaters housing them. The earliest mention of them in print refers to them as "variety theaters" and describe the entertainment as "variety shows". The theaters often had an attached gambling house and always a bar.
In recollections long after the frontiers closed, writers such as Wyatt Earp and E.C. Abbott referred to honky-tonks in the cowtowns of Kansas, Nebraska, and Montana in the 1870s and 1880s. Their recollections contain lurid accounts of the women and violence accompanying the shows. However, in contemporary accounts these were nearly always called hurdy-gurdy shows, possibly derived from the term hurdy-gurdy, which was sometimes mistakenly applied to a small, portable barrel organ that was frequently played by organ grinders and buskers.
As late as 1913, Col. Edwin Emerson, a former Rough Rider commander, hosted a honky-tonk party in New York City. The Rough Riders were recruited from the ranches of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Indian Territories, so the term was still in popular use during the Spanish-American War.
The honky-tonk sound was Outlaw country
Outlaw country is a subgenre of American country music, most popular during the 1970s and early 1980s, sometimes referred to as the outlaw movement or simply outlaw music. The music has its roots in earlier subgenres like honky tonk and rockabilly and is characterized by a blend of rock and folk rhythms, country instrumentation and introspective lyrics. The movement began as a reaction to the slick production and popular structures of the Nashville sound developed by record producers like Chet Atkins.
Early "outlaws" include Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Chris Gantry, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Marty Robbins, Guy Clark, Jessi Colter, Tompall Glaser, David Allan Coe, George Jones, Sammi Smith, and Tanya Tucker. Other associated artists include Hank Williams Jr., Charlie Daniels, B. W. Stevenson, the Eli Radish Band, Leon Russell, Townes Van Zandt, Billy Joe Shaver, Steve Earle, Joe Ely, Johnny Paycheck, Ed Bruce and Gary Stewart.
The outlaw sound has its roots in blues music, honky tonk music of the 1940s and 1950s, rockabilly of the 1950s, and the evolving genre of rock and roll. Early outlaws were particularly influenced by predecessors like Bob Wills, Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, and Buddy Holly. However, an even greater transition occurred after Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson were able to secure their own recording rights, and began the trend of bucking the "Nashville sound". According to Michael Streissguth, author of Outlaw: Waylon, Willie, Kris, and the Renegades of Nashville, Jennings and Nelson became outlaws when they "won the right" to record with the producers and studio musicians they preferred.
The 1960s was a decade of enormous change, and that change was also reflected in the music of the time. The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, and many who followed in their wake cast off the traditional role of the recording artist. They wrote their own material, they had creative input in their albums, and they refused to conform to what society required of its youth. One author states that the Beatnik movement, from the late 1940s to the mid-1960s, was a precursor to outlaw country, as participants in both movements emphasized that they felt "out of place" in mainstream society.
At the same time, country music was declining into a formulaic genre that appeared to offer the establishment what it wanted with artists such as Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton making the kind of music that was anathema to the growing counterculture. While Nashville continued to be the focus of mainstream country music, cities like Lubbock and Austin became the creative centers of outlaw country. Southern rock also had a strong influence on the outlaw country movement, and that sound and style of recording was centered in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
I was in Mississippi , on a Greyhound. It was so hot and wet. We were going to California. We stopped at a gas station, It felt like my Skin would slide off.😀

Black water is the Mississippi River and a honky tonk is a night club.
If Huck Finn & Tom Sawyer lived in the 70’s this would have been their saga

Doobies are great! Thanks.
The perfect song for you Mr. Video. A beautifully smooth song for a smooth thinker 😜
This song is a vibe
Honey Tonk is a country western bar with live music and line dancing.
Black Water is the Mississippi River.
Late 90s in Nashville got to see them live at an outdoor venue about 20,000 people singing "pretty mama " in a round. Great memories! It was a doobie family reunion!
It's a song about riding on a riverboat on a muddy Mississippi river. It's one of those songs with no hidden meaning at all. Enjoy.
moon shining on the mississippi river
Black water is seen a lot in the South. I live in NC, and a lot of our creeks, and some rivers have such muddy bottoms the water looks black....
Hence, references to Mississippi... and Black water...
"Let's Roll a Doobie!"
It's about going night fishing for cat fish in the black water of the Mississippi river. If it rains they go to the Honky Tonk (bar room) and drink and dance all night.
One of the best reaction channels on you tube💯
It’s just a feel good song
I love that you dive into the lyrics. It helps me understand the songs better 🤘
TBH, this is the only Doobie Brothers song that I like. Brings back memories of the jukebox in the junior high commons area (yes, I'm old as hell).
Bro, I swear on everything holy that you'll love "Jesus is just alright". Its an old black church song that they turned into a blues classic
This sounds low low budget pop version of rhythm n blues. Just saying
honky tonk is a bar that plays country music
