I said hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
(I said hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah)
I said  hey, hey, yeah
(I said a hey, a hey, hey, yeah)
I said hey, hey, hey, hey

A come on everybody take a trip with me, well
Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans
Honeysuckle growing on a honeysuckle vine
Love is a blooming there all the time
Every southern belle is a Mississippi queen
Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans

I said hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
(I said hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah)
I said  hey, hey, hey yeah
(I said a hey, a hey, hey, yeah)
I said hey, hey, hey, hey

A come on everybody take a trip with me, well
Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans
Honeysuckle blooming there fills the air
If you ain't been to heaven you ain't been there
French moss hangin from a big oak tree
Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans

I said hey, hey, hey, hey, alright now
(I said hey, hey, hey, hey, alright now)
I said hey, hey, hey, hey, alright now.....
