New Orleans Lyrics

New Orleans lyrics

NEW ORLEANS 

 Gary U.S. Bonds 

  

 Come on everybody take a trip with me 

 Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans. 

 The honey suckle is bloomin on the honeysuckle vine 

 And love is blomin there all the time. 

 Every Southern elle is a Mississippi queen, 

 Down the Mississippi down in New Orleans. 

 Come on take a stroll down to Basin Street 

 And listen to the music with the Dixieland beat. 

 The magnolia bloosoms fills the air. 

 If you ain't been to heaven, then you ain't been there. 

 French moss hangin' from a big oak tree, 

 Down the Mississippi down in New Orleans. 

 Come on everybody take a trip with me 

 Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans. 

 The honey suckle is bloomin on the honeysuckle vine 

 And love is blomin there all the time. 

 Every Southern elle is a Mississippi queen, 

 Down the Mississippi down in New Orleans
