Won't you come and go with meDown that MississippiWe'll take a boat to the land of dreamsCome along with me on, down to New OrleansNow the band's there to greet usOld friends will meet usWhere all them folks goin to the St. Louis cemetery meetHeaven on earth, they call it basin streetI'm tellin' ya, basin street, is the streetWhere all them characters from the first street they meetNew Orleans, land of dreamsYou'll never miss them rice and beansWay 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 bluesNow ain't you glad you went with meOn down that MississippiWe took a boat to the land of dreamsHeaven on earth, they call it basin street Aus Songtexte Mania
