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 blomin there all the time.
every southern elle 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 bloosoms 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 blomin there all the time.
every southern elle is a mississippi queen,
down the mississippi down in new orleans.
