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
