Won't you come along with me
|
To the Mississippi
|
We'll take the boat to the land of dreams
|
Steam down the river down to New Orleans
|
|
The band's there to meet us
|
And old friends to greet us
|
Where all the people always meet
|
Heaven on earth they call it Basin Street
|
|
Basin Street is the street
|
Where the elite always meet
|
In New Orleans the land of dreams
|
You'll never know how nice it seems or just how much it really means
|
|
Glad to be oh yessiree
|
Where welcome's free are dear to me
|
Where I can lose
|
My Basin Street blues
|
|
Glad to be oh yessiree
|
Where welcome's free are dear to me
|
Where I can lose
|
My Basin Street blues
|
|
Ain't you glad you came with me
|
Way down to the Mississippi
|
We took the boat to the land of dreams
|
Steam down the river to New Orleans
|
