Basin Street Blues Lyrics

Now, won′t you come along with me
Down the Mississippi
We'll take a boat to the land of dreams
Steam down the river down to New Orleans

Oh, there′s bands there to meet us
Oh, friends will greet us
We'll see the place where the folks all meet
Heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street

Oh, Basin Street is the street
Where all the elite meet
In New Orleans, the land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems
Just how much it really means
Where I can lay ′round all day
And hit the hay and snooze away
That′s where I'll lose
My Basin Street blues
I mean my Basin Street blues, yes

Now, aren′t you glad you came with me? (We're glad we came with thee)
Down the Mississippi (The muddy Mississippi)
We saw the place where the folks all meet
