Basin Street Blues - The Chris Barber Jazz And Blues Band
Won't you come along with me
We'll down that 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
Don't you know that's what on there
Where all the elite folks meet
Heaven on earth they call it basin street
Basin street that's the street
Where your can might the boat
So they are all going to meet
Their name to New Orleans
Yes the land of dreams yeah
You'll never know how nice it seems
Or just how much it really means
I'm glad to be oh yes-sirree
Where those welcome's street seem to welcome me
And where I can lose lose my basin street blues
And you'll plan to come with me
We'll down that Mississippi
We'll take a boat to the land of dreams
