「What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits ｣（邦題：ドゥービー天国） は、ドゥービー・ブラザーズが1974年に発表した4作目のアルバム。
アルバム・ジャケットは、ライブ風景ですが、何故かスタジオ録音です。
本作からシングル・カットされた 「ブラック・ウォーター」 は、全米1位を獲得しています。
タイトル名の 「What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits｣ の意味は、直訳すると 「かつての悪癖はいまや習慣となった」 ですが、転じて 「悪さして遊んでいるうちに本当にハマってしまった」 というスラングだそうで、まさにマリファナ煙草の事を言っているのでしょう。グループ名の「ドゥービー」もスラングで「マリファナ煙草」を意味しています。

「Black Water」
Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin' Old Mississippi, she's callin' my name Catfish are jumpin', that paddle wheel thumpin' Black water keep rollin' on past just the same
Oh, black water, keep on rollin' Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me? Oh, black water, keep on rollin' Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me? Oh, black water, keep on rollin' Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me? Yeah, keep on shinin' your light Gonna make everything, Pretty Mama gonna make everything all right
And I ain't got no worries 'Cause I ain't in no hurry at all
俺はなんも心配もしちゃいないし ちっとも急いでなんかいないのさ
Well, if it rains, I don't care Don't make no difference to me Just take that street car that's goin' up town Yeah, I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland And dance a honky tonk And I'll be buyin' ev'rybody drinks all 'roun'
Oh, black water, keep on rollin' Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me? Oh, black water, keep on rollin' Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me? Oh, black water, keep on rollin' Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me? Keep on shinin' your light Gonna make everything, everything Gonna make everything all right And I ain't got no worries 'Cause I ain't in no hurry at all
I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland Pretty Mama come and take me by the hand By the hand, take me by the hand pretty Mama Come and dance with your daddy all night long I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland Pretty Mama come and take me by the hand I want to honky tonk, honky tonk, honky tonk With you all night long
I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland Pretty Mama come and take me by the hand By the hand, take me by the hand pretty Mama Come and dance with your daddy all night long I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland Pretty Mama come and take me by the hand I want to honky tonk, honky tonk, honky tonk With you all night long
As I sittin' in my room, I'm starin' out the window And wonder where you've gone Thinkin' back on happy hours just before the dawn Outside the wind is blowin' It seems to call your name again Where have you gone
The city streets and lonely highways I travel now My car's empty and the radio just seems to bring me down I'm just tryin' to find me A pretty smile that I can get into It's true, I'm lost without you
It's warm outside, no clouds are in the sky But I need myself a place to go and hide I keep it to myself I don't want nobody else To see me cryin' all those tears in my eyes
