Basin Street Blues (With Billie Holiday)

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
