Basin Street Blues
|
|
Won't you come and go with me
|
Down that Mississippi
|
We'll take a boat to the land of dreams
|
Come along with me on, down to New Orleans
|
|
Now the band's there to greet us
|
Old friends will meet us
|
Where all them folks goin to the St. Louis Cemetary meet
|
Heaven on earth.... they call it Basin Street
|
|
I'm tellin' ya, Basin Street...... is the street
|
Where all them characters from the First street they meet
|
New Orleans..... land of dreams
|
you'll never miss them rice and beans
|
Way down south in New Orleans
|
|
They'll be huggin'.... and a kissin'
|
That's what I been missin'
|
And all that music....lord, if you just listen'
|
New Orleans....I got them Basin Street Blues
|
|
(instrumental break)
|
|
Now ain't you glad you went with me
|
On down that Mississippi
|
We took a boat to the land of dreams
|
Heaven on earth...they call it Basin Street
|
