Basin Street Blues

Basin Street that's the street

Where the elite 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 oh yes siree

Where welcome's free are dear to me

Where I can lose

My Basin Street blues

Basin Street that's the street

Where the elite 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 oh yessiree...

Ain't you glad you came with me

Way down to the Mississippi

We took the boat to the land of dreams

Steam down the river to New Orleans
