You Won't 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

Band's The there to meet us

Where all the people always meet

On Heaven 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

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

Basin My Street blues
