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 the New Orleans

The band's there to meet us
Old friends there to greet us
That’s where the light and dark folks meet
Heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street

Oh, Basin Street is the street
Where the elite 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 siree
Where welcome's free and dear to me
Where I can lose
My Basin Street Blues

Basin Street is the street
Where all 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, yes siree
Where welcome's free dear to me
Where I can lose
All this Basin Street Blues
