Basin Street Blues (1960) - Shirley Bassey

Wont 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

Im 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

Thats 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
