文本歌词

Won't you come along with me
Down the Mississippi
We'll take a boat to the land of dreams
Steam down the river down to New Orleans
The band's there to meet us
Old folks to greet us
Light and the dark and the elite folks meet
They call it Basin Street
Oh Basin Street is the street
Where all the people meet
In New Orleans the land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems
Or just how much it really means
I'm glad to be yes sirree
Where welcome's free and dear to me
Where I can lose the Basin Street Blues
Ain't you glad you came with me
Down the Mississippi
That's where the dark and elite folks meet
A heaven on earth they call it Basin Street
