New Orleans - Wilson Pickett Jr.

I said hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah

(I said hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah)

I said a hey, a hey, hey, yeah

(I said a hey, a hey, hey, yeah)

A come on everybody take a trip with me, well

Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans

They got a honeysuckle growing on a honeysuckle vine

And love is a blooming there all the time

Well every southern belle is a Mississippi queen

Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans

I said hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah

(I said hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah)

I said a hey, hey, hey, yeah

(I said a hey, hey, hey, yeah)

A come on take a stroll down to Basin street

Listen to the music with that Dixieland beat

Well the magnolia blossoms fill the air

Whoa, whoa, and you ain’t been to heaven till you been down there

They got French moss hangin from a big oak tree

Get outta here Jimmy Vaughan take it!

I said hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah

(I said hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah)

I said a hey, hey, hey, yeah

(I said a hey, hey, hey, yeah)

Come on everybody take a trip with me

(whoo!)

Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans, yeah, yeah

With a honeysuckle hanging on a honeysuckle vine

Well love is blooming there all the time

Every southern belle is a Mississippi queen

Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans

Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Come on take a stroll down to Basin street

Listen to the music with the dixieland beat, yeah

I say, the magnolia blossoms fill the air

And you ain’t been to heaven if you ain’t been there

Honeysuckle hanging from a hollow tree

Down in Mississippi down in New Orleans

Well, I said Hey, hey, hey, yeah

(Hey, hey, hey, yeah)

I said a look out John, hey, yeah, yeah

(I said a look out John hey, yeah, yeah)
