歌詞
Won't you come along with me
Way down the Mississippi?
We'll take a boat to the land of dreams
Steaming down the river, down to New Orleans
Ain't you glad you went with me
Way down the Mississippi
We took a boat to the land of dreams
Steaming down that river, down to New Orleans
Basin Street is the street
Where all the black and white folks meet
In New Orleans, land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems
Way down to the New Orleans
Glad to be, yes siree
Comes down to you and me
'Cause I can't lose
My Basin Street blues
Won't you come along with me
Way down the Mississippi?
We'll take a boat to the land of dreams
Steaming down the river, down to New Orleans
Basin Street is the street
Where all the black and white folks meet
In New Orleans, land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems
Way down to the New Orleans
Glad to be, yes siree
Comes down to you and me
'Cause I can't lose
My Basin Street blues
'Cause I can't lose
