Basin Street Blues - Ray Charles
Why don't you come along with me
To the mississippi
We'll take a boat to the land of dreams
And steam down the river down in new orleans
You know the band's there to meet us
Old friends to greet us
Where all the light and dark folk meet
Away down yonder and down on basin street
Let me tell you about that 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
That's why I can't lose this basin street blues
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
I'm glad to be yes-siree
Where welcome's free and dear to me
That's why I can't lose this basin street blues
And that's why I can't lose this basin street blues
