Basin Street Blues (Studio Rerecording)

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 cemetery 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
