Basin Street, Basin Street |
|
That's the place where my friends all meet |
|
Down in New Orleans, in that land of dreams |
|
And you don't know how nice it seems |
|
It's dear to me, yes-sirree |
|
And that's the place I'm so longing to be |
|
Where I can lose |
|
These old Basin Street blues |
|
No, Basin Street, my Basin Street |
|
Where the young and the old folk meet |
|
Down in New Orleans, in that land of dreams |
|
You don't know how nice it really seems |
|
But it's dear to me, yes-sirree |
|
And that's the place I'm so longing to be |
|
Where maybe I can lose |
|
These old Basin Street blues |
|
And oh, well I'm talkin' 'bout |
|
Basin Street, Basin Street |
|
Where the folk who know what's happenin' meet |
|
Down in New Orleans, in the land of dreams |
|
And you don't know how nice it seems |
|
Or just how it really means |
|
Dear to me, yes-sirree |
|
It's dear to me, yes-sirree |
|
Can't you see why I'm gonna lose |
|
These old Basin Street blues |
|
Oh, I wanna go where I can lose |
|
These old Basin Street blues |
|
Oh yeah |
