Lyrics for Song: Basin Street Blues
Lyrics for Album: Majestic Years
WonÂ’t you come and go with me
Down that Mississippi
WeÂ’ll take a boat to the land of dreams
Come along with me on, down to new orleans
Now the bandÂ’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
IÂ’m tellinÂ’ ya, basin street is the street
Where all them characters from the first street they meet
New Orleans, land of dreams
YouÂ’ll never miss them rice and beans
Way down south in New Orleans
TheyÂ’ll be hugginÂ’ and a kissinÂ’
ThatÂ’s what I been missinÂ’
And all that music lord, if you just listenÂ’
New orleans, I got them basin street blues
Now ainÂ’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
