#6 in 1960.
INTRO:( is the orig. key. Check out on YouTube.)
I said, a-hey-hey-hey-yeah.
I said a-hey-hey-hey-yeah.
I said, a-hey, a-hey-hey-yeah.
Said, a-hey, a-hey-hey-yeah.
#1.
Well, come on everybody take a trip with me.
Well, down the Mississippi, down to New Orleans.
They got the Honeysuckle bloomin' on the Honeysuckle vine.
And love is bloomin' there, all a the time.
CHORUS:
You know every Southern Belle is a Mississippi Queen,
Down the Mississippi, down in New Orleans.
I said, a-hey-hey-hey-yeah.
I said, hey-hey-hey-yeah.
I said, a-hey-a-hey-a-hey-yeah.
Said, look out now, hey-hey-yeah.
#2.
Well, come on take a stroll down to Basin Street.
Yeah, listen to the music with the dixieland beat.
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 in New Orleans.
I said, a-hey-hey-hey-yeah. Said, hey-hey-hey-yeah.(x2)
REPEAT#1.
CHORUS:
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
