Basin Street Blues

Won't you along with me
Long the Mississippi
We'll take a boat to the land of dreams
Steam down the river down to New Orleans

A band there to meet us
Old friends to greet us
You'll see the place where the folks all meet
Heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street

Basin Street, is the street
Where all good friends always meet
New Orleans, the land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems
Or just how much it really means
Glad to be, yes-sir-ee
Where welcome streets, welcome me
Where I can lose, lose my Basin Street blues

Ain't you glad you came with me
Along the Mississippi
You saw the place where the folks all meet
Look out folks I'm gonna take a trombone tag
