We've got the home
we've got the ring
I guess we've got most ev'rything,
and the wedding day's
one Sunday morning soon,
in June,
Now all the while
we're making plans
and when they've asked
those marriage banns,
I'll tell you how
we're gwine to spend our honeymoon.

We're gwine to float in a boat
on the Mississippi all day long,
We're gwine to glide on the tide
of the Mississippi, all day long.
And when the sun goes down at night
we're gwine to cuddle up nice and tight.
Then we'll spoon 'neath the moon
on the Mississippi.
Man in the moon's sure to think we're "dippy"
there on the air of the Mississippi,
all day long,
You're sure to hear, if you're near
such a tender loving tune,
and if you care to listen,
she won't care,
I won't care,
we'll be such a happy and contented pair
while we're on our Mississippi honeymoon!

We're gwine to float in a boat

Then we'll spoon 'neath the moon
on the Mississippi.
Man in the moon's sure to think we're "dippy"

all day long,
You're sure to hear, if you're near

and if you care to listen,
she won't care,
I won't care,
we'll be such a happy and contented pair
while we're on our Mississippi honeymoon!

Unless you've been
you couldn't tell,
the way that river casts its spell.
Ev'ry Mississippi missis loves it so,
I know!
Along the stream
we'll gently creep,
and it will rock us both to sleep,
the way our mammies used to do
long years ago.
