Basin Street Blues Songtext

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
