Basin Street Blues |
| 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 |
