Asleep At The Wheel & Leon Rausch - Basin Street Blues lyrics

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 to greet us Where all the light and the dark folks meet Heaven on earth they call it Basin Street Basin Street is the street Where 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 are dear to me Where I can lose Those, oh, Basin Street blues Ain't you glad you came 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 was there to meet us Old friends to greet us Where all the light and the dark folks meet Heaven on earth they call it Basin Street Basin Street is the street Where 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 are dear to me Where I can lose My Basin Street blues
