I said hey hey hey heay yeah
Well c'mon everybody take a trip with me
Way down to Mississippi down to New Orleans
They got a honeysuckle bloomin' on a honeysuckle vine
And oh it's a bloomin' there all the time
You know that every southern belle is a Mississippi queen
Down to Mississippi down to New Orleans

Hey hey hey yeah I said hey hey hey hey yeah
Well c'mon everybody take a stroll with me
We're gonna listen to the music with a country beat
Take out the magnolia blossoms that fill the air
Oh if you ain't been to heaven then you ain't been there
Yeah all the birds are singin' from the big oak trees
Down to Mississippi down to New Orleans
[ steel + guitar ]
I said hey hey hey heay yeah I said hey hey hey heay yeah
Well c'mon everybody take a trip with me
Hey hey hey yeah I said hey hey hey hey yeah
