Basin Sreet Blues (1998 Remaster) - Helen Shapiro

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 black and white folks meet

There is basin street

Now basin Street is the street

Where the best folks 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

Now won't you come along with me

We down to the Mississippi

We'll take a boat to the land of dreams

That we'll steam down the river down to New Orleans

But you know the band's there to meet us

And there are old friends to greet us

Where all the black and white folks meet

There is Basin Street

Basin Street is the street

Where the best folks always meet

In New Orleans that 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

Where I can lose my Basin Street Blues
