Basin Street Blues - Bob Wills / His Texas Playboys

Won't you come along with me

Come along with me

To the Mississippi

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

And old friends there to greet us

That's where all the doors and elite folks meet

Heaven on earth they call it basin street

Basin street is the street

Where all like that doors and I go to meet

That in New Orleans land of dreams

You'll never know how nice it seems

Or just how much it really means

That glad to be yes-sirree

Where welcome's free and dear to me

Where I can lose my basin street blues

Oh basin street is the street

Where all like it doors can a like about meet

In New Orleans the land of dreams

You'll never know how nice it seems

Or just how much it really means

I know glad to be yes-sirree

Where welcome's free there's to me

Where I can lose my basin street blue
