Basin Street Blues Lyrics - Shirley Bassey

Won't you come and go with me 

Down that Mississippi? 

We'll take a boat to the land of dreams 

Come along with me on, down to New Orleans 

Now the band's there to greet us 

Old friends will meet us where all them folks 

Going to the St. Louis Cemetery meet 

Heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street 

I'm telling ya, Basin Street is the street 

Where all them characters from the First street they meet 

New Orleans land of dreams 

You'll never miss them rice and beans 

Way down south in New Orleans
