I said a-hey,hey,hey,yeah
I said a-hey,a-hey,hey,yeah
Well,come on everybody
Take a trip with me
Down the Mississippi
down to New Orleans.
They got a-honey suckle is bloomin
on the honeysuckle vine
And love is bloomin
there all the time.
Every Southern belle
is a Mississippi queen,
Down the Mississippi
down in New Orleans.
Come on take a stroll
down to Basin Street
And listen to the music
with the Dixieland beat.
The magnolia blossoms
fills the air.
If you ain't been to heaven,
then you ain't been there.
French moss hangin'
from a big oak tree,
Down the Mississippi
down in New Orleans.
Come on everybody
take a trip with me
Down the Mississippi
down to New Orleans.
The honey suckle is bloomin
on the honeysuckle vine
And love is bloomin there
all the time.
Every Southern belle
is a Mississippi queen,
Down the Mississippi
down in New Orleans
