NEW ORLEANS: Freddy (Boom Boom)Cannon.
Top of the charts in 1960.



#1.

G
Come on everybody take a trip with me,


Down the Mississippi, down to New Orleans.

    C
The honeysuckle is bloomin' on the honeysuckle vine,

    G
And love is bloomin' there all the time.

D7                        C7
Every southern belle is a Mississippi queen,

G
Down the Mississippi down in New Orleans.

(I say yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah(Pause)..x2)




***(Chords are the same for all verses.)***

#2.

Come on take a stroll down to Basin Street,


And listen to the music with the Dixie-Land beat.


The Magnolia blossoms fill 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.


(I said yea, yea, yea yea, Yeah!(Pause) Look out now, yea, yea, 

 
 yeah!)


I said there's French Moss hangin' from a big Oak tree,


Down the Mississippi, down in New Orleans.




A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
