We'll take a boat to the land of dreams |
|
Come along with me on, down to New Orleans |

|
Old friends will meet us |
|
Where all them folks goin to the St. Louis Cemetary meet |
|
Heaven on earth.... they call it Basin Street |
|

|
Where all the white and dark folk meet |
|
New Orleans..... land of dreams |
|

|
Way down south in New Orleans |
|
|
|
They'll be huggin'.... and a kissin' |
|
That's what I been missin' |
|
And all that music....lord, if you just listen' |
|
