New Orleans lyrics

I said hey hey hey hey yeah

(I said, hey hey hey hey yeah)

I said, hey hey hey yeah

(I said hey hey hey yeah)

Well c'mon everybody, take a trip with me

Yeah, down the Mississippi down in New Orleans

They got the honeysuckle growing on the honeysuckle vine

And love is bloomin' there all the time

You know every southern belle is a Mississippi Queen

Down the Mississippi, down to New Orleans

Hey hey hey hey yeah

(I said, hey hey hey hey yeah)

I said, hey hey hey yeah

(I said hey hey hey yeah)

Well, c'mon everybody take a stroll with me

We gonna listen to the music with the Dixieland beat

They got the magnolia blossoms fillin' the air

Yeah, if you ain't been to heaven, you ain't been there

Now the French moss hanging from the big oak trees

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, hey hey hey yeah)

Well, let's go everybody, take a trip with me,

Well it's down the Mississippi down to New Orleans

Oh, the honeysuckle's bloomin' on the honeysuckle vine

They got love there bloomin' all the time

You know that every southern belle is a Mississippi Queen

Down the Mississippi, down to New Orleans

Ah, hey hey hey hey yeah

(I said, hey hey hey hey yeah)

I said, hey hey hey yeah

(I said, hey hey hey yeah)

Well, c'mon...we goin' to New Orleans...
