Basin Street Blues Lyrics
Basin Street Blues - Benny Goodman And His Orchestra/Spencer Williams
Written by:Spencer Williams
Come along with me
Down the Mississippi
We'll take a boat to the land of dreams
Steam down the river down to new Orleans
The band's there to meet us
Old friends there to greet us
That's where all the proud and elite folks meet
They call it Basin Street
Oh Basin Street
Is the street
Where all the people meet
In new Orleans the land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems
Or just how much it really means
Than glad to be yes sirree
Where welcome's free and dear to me
Where I can lose lose my Basin street blues
Enter black the pain with me
Down the Mississippi
That's where all the proud and elite folks meet
Heaven on earth they call it basin street
