|
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 |
|
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 |
