I said, a-hey-hey-hey-yeah
(I said a-hey-hey-hey-yeah)
I said, a-hey, a-hey-hey-yeah
(Said, a-hey, a-hey-hey-yeah)
Well, come on ev'rybody
Take a trip with me
Well, down the Mississippi
Down to New Orleans
They got the honeysuckle bloomin'

Well, down the Mississippi
Down to New Orleans
They got the honeysuckle bloomin'
On the honeysuckle vine
And a-love is a-bloomin' there
All-a the time
You know ev'ry Southern Belle
Is a Mississippi Queen
Down the Mississippi
Down in New Orleans
I said, a-hey-hey-hey-yeah
(I said, hey-hey-hey-yeah)
I said, a-hey-a-hey-a-hey-yeah
(Said, a-hey-hey-hey-yeah)
Well, come on take a stroll
Down to Basin Street
Yeah, listen to the music
With the dixieland beat
A-where the magnolia blossoms
Fill the air
Yeah, an if you ain't been to heaven
Then you ain't been there
They got the French moss
Hangin' from a big oak tree
Down the Mississippi
Down in New Orleans
I said, a-hey-hey-hey-yeah
(Said, hey-hey-hey-yeah)
I said a-look out, child!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Said, look out child, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Well, come on ev'rybody
Take a trip with me
Well, down the Mississippi
Down to New Orleans
Well, the honeysuckle's bloomin'
On the honeysuckle vine
Yeah, and the love is a-bloomin' there
All the time
You know that ev'ry Southern Belle
Is a Mississippi Queen
Down the Mississippi
Down in New Orleans
Hey, hey!
Well, I says, a-hey-hey-a-hey-yeah
(Said, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
