Jeff Healey - Basin Street Blues Lyrics




[ Featuring Jeff Healey, the Jazz Wizards ]

Won't you come and go with me
Down that Mississippi
Well take a boat to the land of dreams
Come along with me on, down to new Orleans

Now the bands there to greet us
Old friends will meet us
Where all them folks goin' to the St. Louis cemetery meet
Heaven on earth
They call it Basin Street

I'm tellin' 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

They'll be huggin
And a kissin'
That's what I been missin'
And all that music
Lord, if you just listen
New Orleans
I got them Basin Street blues

Now ain't you glad you went with me
On down that Mississippi
We took a boat to the land of dreams
Heaven on earth
They call it Basin Street
