Текст песни Basin Street Blues - Oscar Benton

Won't you come along with me
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
And old friends to greet us
Where all the people always meet
Heaven on earth they call it 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 oh yessiree
Where welcome's free are dear to me,
Where I can lose
My Basin Street blues.

Glad to be oh yessiree
Where welcome's free are dear to me,
Where I can lose
My Basin Street blues.

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.
