Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

New Orleans

I said a hey, hey, hey yeah

I said a hey, hey, hey yeah.

Come on everybody, take a trip with me

Well, down the Mississippi down to New Orleans

They got the Honey Suckle's bloomin' on the Honey Suckle vine

And love is a-blooming there all the time.

You know every Southern Bell is a Mississippi Queen

Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans.

Yeah

I said a hey, hey, hey yeah.

Come on take a stroll down to Basin Street

Yeah, listen to the music with the dixieland beat

A-where the magnolia blossoms fill the air

Yeah, and if you ain't been to heaven then you ain't been there.

They got the French moss hangin' from a big oak tree

Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans.

I said a hey, hey, hey yeah

I said a hey, hey, hey yeah.

Come on everybody, take a trip with me, yeah

Well, down the Mississippi down to New Orleans

They got the Honey Suckle's bloomin' on the Honey Suckle vine

Yeah, and the love is a-blooming there all the time.

You know every Southern Bell is a Mississippi Queen

Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans, New Orleans.

I said a hey, hey, hey yeah

New Orleans
