Basin Street Blues (Live At Lincoln Center, New York/2007)

[Verse 1]

Now won't you come along with me

To the Mississippi?

We'll take a trip to the land of dreams

Floating down the river down to New Orleans

The band is there to meet us

Old friends to greet us

That's where the light and the dark folks meet

Heaven on Earth, they call it Basin Street

[Chorus]

I said Basin Street is the street

Where the elite always meet

Down in New Orleans

The land of dreams

You'll never know how nice it seems

Or just how much it really means just to be

Yes-sir-ee

In New Orleans, the land of dreams

Where I can lose

My Basin Street blues

[Verse 2]

Now ain't you glad you came with me

Down to the Mississippi?

We took a trip to the land of dreams

And we floated down the river down to New Orleans

[Chorus]

We went to Basin Street

Basin street

Where the elite always meet

Down in New Orleans

The land of dreams

You'll never know how much it seems

Or just how much it really means just to be

Yes-sir-ee

In New Orleans, land of dreams

Where I can lose

My Basin Street blues
