Basin Street Blues - Helen Shapiro
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 there to greet us
Where all the black and white folks meet
There is basin street
Now basin Street is the street
Where the best folks 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-sirree
Where welcome's free and dear to me
Where I can lose my Basin Street Blues
Now won't you come along with me
We down to the Mississippi
We'll take a boat to the land of dreams
That we'll steam down the river down to New Orleans
But you know the band's there to meet us
And there are old friends to greet us
Where all the black and white folks meet
There is Basin Street
Basin Street is the street
Where the best folks always meet
In New Orleans that land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems
Or just how much it really means
Glad to be yes-sirree
Where welcome's free and dear to me
Where I can lose my Basin Street Blues
Where I can lose my Basin Street Blues
