A E
A                          D
Gonna take a trip down the Mississippi line
E                          A
Way down yonder, Georgia's on my mind
                         D
Gonna take a ride, gonna spend my money too
E                           A
Baby, that's what I'm gonna do
F                               A
There's a lot of places I ain't never have been
F                               E
There's a lot of faces I ain't never have seen

2nd verse
A                          D
Gonna take a trip down the Mississippi line
E                             A
Down to Birmingham, where the corn is high
                        D
Gonna take a ride up to Memphis, Tennessee
E                   A
Back again to New Orleans

Chorus
E
E               A
So come on with me
E           A
Come on and see
D                    A
We're doin' fine, my baby and I
E                 A
Got a long way to go
D                    A
We're doing fine, my baby and I
F       E            A    E
Down the Mississippi line

Solo
F                               A
There's a lot of places I ain't never have been
F                              E
There's a lot of faces I ain't never have seen

3rd verse
A                          D
Gonna take a ride down the Mason Dixon line
E                       A
Down to Macon, Georgia, me oh my
                           D
Gonna take a ride, yes I'm gonna take a ride
E                    A
Down the Mississippi line
