I said hey, hey, hey, yeah (I said hey, hey, hey, yeah)
I said hey, hey, hey, yeah (I said hey, hey, hey, yeah)
Oh c'mon everybody, take a trip with me
Well, down the Mississippi down to New Orleans
They got the honeysuckle growing on the honeysuckle vine
And love is a-blooming there all the time
You know every southern belle is a Mississippi Queen
Down the Mississippi, down to New Orleans

I said hey, hey, hey, yeah (I said hey, hey, hey, yeah)
I said hey, hey, hey, yeah (I said hey, hey, hey, yeah)
Well, c'mon, take a stroll down to Basin Street
And listen to the music with the Dixieland beat
Out where the magnolia blossoms, they fill the air
Yeah, and if you ain't been to heaven, you been down there
They got birch moss hanging from a big oak tree
Down the Mississippi, down in New Orleans

I said hey, hey, hey, yeah (I said hey, hey, hey, yeah)
I said look out, y'all, yeah, yeah, yeah (I said look out, y'all, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Well, c'mon everybody, take a trip with me, oooh
Well, down the Mississippi down to New Orleans
Well, the honeysuckle's blooming on the honeysuckle vine
Yeah, and the love is a-blooming there all the time
You know, every southern belle is a Mississippi Queen
Down the Mississippi, down to New Orleans, yeah-yeah

Well, I says a-hey, hey, hey, yeah (said hey, hey, hey, yeah)
I said look out, y'all, yeah, yeah, yeah
