 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'
 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)
 FADES-
 I said, a-look out child!
 Yeah, yeah, yeah
