Basin Street Blues (LP版)

Basin Street Blues (LP版) - Dr. John

Basin street is the street

Where all them characters from the first precinct meet

In new Orleans city of a million dreams

And you'll never know how nice it seems

When you're way down south in new Orleans

You'll be huggin' and a kissin'

That's what I been missin' yeah

Hear all that good music lord if you just listen

Yeah new Orleans is truth

That's why I got these basin street blues

I'm tellin' ya basin street that's the street

Where all the ghouls from storyville and the sty Louis cemetery meet

New Orleans land of a million dreams

You'll never beat them rice and beans

Way down south in new Orleans

Basin street that's the street

Yeah where everybody sooner or later gonna meet

New Orleans yes it's true

I got those basin street blues

Ain't you glad you went with me

On down that Mississippi

We took a boat to the land o' dreams

Heaven on earth they call it basin street

Now ain't you glad you went with me

Straight on down that Mississippi

We took a boat to the land o' dreams

A heaven on earth they call it basin street
