Well, come on everybody take a trip with me Down the Mississippi, down to New Orleans They got the honeysuckle blaming on the honeysuckle vine And love is blaming there all the time They got the French boys swinging from a big old tree Down the Mississippi, down in New Orleans Well, come on take a stroll down on Basin Street And listen to the music and the Dixieland beat Oh, Magnolia blossom fills the air And you ain't been to heaven if you ain't been there Every Southern Belle is a Mississippi Queen Down the Mississippi, down in New Orleans
