Lyrics:
Won't you come along with me
To the Mississippi
We'll take a boat to the land of dreams
Steam down the river to New Orleans
The band is there there to greet us
Old friends to meet us
Where all the light and the dark folks meet
Heaven on Earth
They call it Basin Street
Ooh, Basin Street
Honey, that's the street where the elite always meet
In New Orleans, the land of dreams
You never know how nice it seems
Just how much it really means
Ooh, I'm glad to be, Yes, siree
Where welcome's free and it's dear to me
Where I can lose my Basin Street Blues
You'll be glad you came with me
Down the Mississippi
I'm gonna show you what the good life means
No place can singe you like New Orleans
And we'll be glad to be, Yes, siree
Where welcome's free and it's dear to me
Where I can lose
Take me back to Basin Street Blues
Talkin' 'bout the Basin Street Blues
