Basin Street Blues (With Billie Holiday) Lyrics

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 OrleansNow the band's 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 StreetI'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 OrleansThey'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
