Song Lyrics

I said a hey, hey, hey, yeah
(I said a hey, hey, hey, yeah)
I said a hey, hey, hey, yeah
(I said a hey, hey, hey, yeah)
A come on everybody take a trip with me
On down the Mississippi down to new orleans
They got a honeysuckle droopin' on a honeysuckle vine
And a love is a growin' there all the time
Well every southern bell is a Mississippi queen
Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans

I said a hey, hey, hey, yeah
(I said a hey, hey, hey, yeah)
Well look out, hey, hey, yeah
(Well look out, hey, hey, yeah)

A come on everybody down to Basin Street
Listen to the music of the dixieland beat
Well the magnolia blossems fill the air
Said you ain't been to heaven till you been down there
They got rich moss hangin' from a big oak tree
Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans

Whoa
I said a hey, hey, hey, yeah
(I said a hey, hey, hey, yeah)
I said a hey, hey, hey, yeah
(I said a hey, hey, hey, yeah)
Well come on everybody take a trip with me
On down the Mississippi down to New Orleans
Well the honeysuckle droopin' on a honeysuckle vine
And love is a growin' there all the time
Well every southern bell is a Mississippi queen
Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans
Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans
Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans
Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans
