Gonna take a trip down the mississippi line

Way down yonder georgia's on my mind

Gonna take a ride gonna spend my money too

Baby that's what I'm gonna do

There's a lot of places I ain't never have been

There's a lot of faces I ain't never have seen

Gonna take a trip down the mississippi line

Down to birmingham where the corn is high

Gonna take a ride up to memphis tennessee

Back again to new orleans

We're doin' fine my baby and I

Got a long way to go

We're doing fine my baby and I

Down the mississippi line

There's a lot of places I ain't never have been

There's a lot of faces I ain't never have seen

3rd verse

Gonna take a ride down the mason dixon line

Down to macon georgia me oh my

Gonna take a ride yes I'm gonna take a ride

Down the mississippi line
