Basin Street Blues Lyrics
Basin Street Blues - Jack Teagarden
Won't you come along with me
Do 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
Where all them dark
And like folks meet
They call it Basin Street
Basin Street is the street
Where the game like always meet
In Orleans
The land of dreams
You'll never know
How nice it seems
Or just how much it really means
Glad to be
Yes sirree
Where welcomes free
Dear to me
Where I can lose
My Basin Street Blues
Won't graduate game
With me
Alone the mississippi
Use the place while
The folks are meet
Heaven on earth
They call it Basin street
