WonÔÇÖt you come and go with me
Down that Mississippi
WeÔÇÖll take a boat to the land of dreams
Come along with me on, down to new orleans
Now the bandÔÇÖs there to greet us
Old friends will meet us
Where all them folks goin to the St. Louis cemetary meet
Heaven on earth, they call it basin street
IÔÇÖm tellinÔÇÖ ya, basin street is the street
Where all them characters from the first street they meet
New Orleans, land of dreams
YouÔÇÖll never miss them rice and beans
Way down south in New Orleans
TheyÔÇÖll be hugginÔÇÖ and a kissinÔÇÖ
ThatÔÇÖs what I been missinÔÇÖ
And all that music lord, if you just listenÔÇÖ
New orleans, I got them basin street blues
Now ainÔÇÖt you glad you went with me
On down that Mississippi
We took a boat to the land of dreams
Heaven on earth they call it basin street
