Shirley Bassey - History Records - British Edition 1 (Remastered)

Basin Street Blues (1960) [Remastered]

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 Orleans

Now the band's there to greet us
Old friends will meet us where all them folks
Going to the St. Louis Cemetery meet
Heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street

I'm telling 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 hugging and a-kissing
That's what I been missing
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
