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
