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 Chorus So come on with me Come on and see 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 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 Chorus
