( Dis the orig. key. Check out on YouTube.)
[Intro]
[D]
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.
[Verse 1]
[D]
Well, come on everybody take a trip with me.
Well, down the Mississippi, down to New Orleans.
             [G]
They got the Honeysuckle bloomin' on the Honeysuckle vine.
    [D]
And love is bloomin' there, all a the time.
[Chorus]
         [A]                         [G]
You know every Southern Belle is a Mississippi Queen,
[D]
Down the Mississippi, down in New Orleans.
[D]
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.
[Verse 2]
[D]
Well, come on take a stroll down to Basin Street.
Yeah, listen to the music with the dixieland beat.
          [G]
Where the Magnolia blossoms fill the air.
                 [D]
Yeah, and if you ain't been to Heaven
then you ain't been there.
             [A]                          [G]
They got the French Moss hangin' from a big Oak tree,
[D]
Down the Mississippi, down in New Orleans.
[D]
I said, a-hey-hey-hey-yeah. Said, hey-hey-hey-yeah.(x2)
[Verse 3]
[D]
Well, come on everybody take a trip with me.
Well, down the Mississippi, down to New Orleans.
             [G]
They got the Honeysuckle bloomin' on the Honeysuckle vine.
    [D]
And love is bloomin' there, all a the time.
[Chorus]
         [A]                         [G]
You know every Southern Belle is a Mississippi Queen,
[D]
Down the Mississippi, down in New Orleans.
[D]
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.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
