~~~~♫♫♫ ~~~~ Won't you come along with me[come along with me] To the Mississippi [to the Mississippi] We'll take the boat to the land of dreams Steam down the river down to New Orleans
The band's there to meet us Old friends to greet us Where all the young and the old folks meet I call it heaven on earth, this is Basin Street
Basin Street is 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, yessiree Where welcome's free dear to me Where I can lose My Basin Street blues My Basin Street blues
Now won’t you glad to come with me Down the Mississippi Where all the young and the old folks meet Heaven on earth they call it Basin Street Basin Street .....
