Basin Street Blues
Dr. John
Basin Street is the street
Where all them characters from the First Precinct meet
In New Orleans, city of a million dreams
And you'll never know how nice it seems
When you're way down South in New Orleans
You'll be huggin' and a-kissin'
That's what I been missin', yeah
Hear all that good music, Lord, if you just listen
Yeah, New Orleans is truth
That's why I got these Basin Street blues
I'm tellin' ya, Basin Street, that's the street
Where all the ghouls from Storyville and the St. Louis cemetery meet
New Orleans, land of a million dreams
You'll never beat them rice and beans
Way down South in New Orleans
Basin Street, that's the street
Yeah, where ev'rybody sooner or later gonna meet
New Orleans, yes, it's true
I got those Basin Street blues
Ain't you glad you went with me
On down that Mississippi
We took a boat to the land o' dreams
Heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street
Now ain't you glad you went with me
Straight on down that Mississippi
We took a boat to the land o' dreams
A heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street
