Basin Street Blues - Joni James
Won't you come along with me
To 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 the light and door folks meet
Heaven on earth they call it basin street
Oh basin street is the street
Where the in need always meet
In New Orleans land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems
Or just how much it really means
Glad to be yes-sirree
Where welcome's free and dear to me
Where I can lose my basin street blues
Basin street is the street
Where all the lives in always meet
In New 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 welcome's free and dear to me
Where I can lose all these basin street blues
