New Orleans Songtext
von Gary “U.S.” Bonds

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)
Well, come on ev′rybody
Take a trip with me
Well, down the Mississippi

Down to New Orleans
They got the honeysuckle bloomin'
On the honeysuckle vine
And a-love is a-bloomin′ there
All-a the time
You know ev'ry 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, a-hey-hey-hey-yeah)
Well, 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, an 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)
I said a-look out, child!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Said, look out child, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Well, come on ev'rybody
Take a trip with me


Well, down the Mississippi
Down to New Orleans
Well, the honeysuckle′s bloomin'
On the honeysuckle vine
Yeah, and the love is a-bloomin′ there
All the time
You know that ev'ry Southern Belle
Is a Mississippi Queen
Down the Mississippi
Down in New Orleans
Hey, hey!

Well, I says, a-hey-hey-a-hey-yeah, (said, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
I said, a-look out child!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
