Loading...

aw, basin street
yes yes
oh ho, ah

won’t you come along with me (come along with me)
to the mississippi? (to the mississippi?)
we’ll take a trip to the land of dreams
steamin’ down the river, down to new orleans
(yeah uh)

the band’s gonna meet us (the band’s gonna meet us )
all our old friends to greet us (old friends to greet us)
that’s where the dark and the light folks meet
(i hear you talking boy)
heaven on earth, they call it basin street

oh basin street (basin street)
is the street (that is the street)
where all the dark and light folks meet (ah hah)
down in new orleans (yes yes), land of dreams
you’ll never know how nice it seems
or just how much it really means (really know)

i’m glad to be (glad to be) yes siree (oh joe)
where welcome street, dear to me (uh+huh)
where i can lose (what you about to lose, boy?)
my basin street blues
come in louie tierney with that old saxophone

[sax solo: louie tierney]
yes friends, louie has laid his fiddle down
and picked up a beautiful golden saxophone
now lets play it louie
aw, yes yes, just like old times

come in noel

[steel guitar solo: noel boggs]
that is noel boggs, the steel guitar
aw+right

oh basin street (yes) is the street
where all the dark and the light folks meet (yeah)
in new orleans, land of dreams (uh+huh)
you’ll never know how nice it seems
or just how much it really means (never know)

i’m so glad to be (well hooray, yay!) yes siree (uh+huh)
where welcome street, dear to me (alright)
where i can lose (what you about to lose, boy?)
my basin street blues
