"Basin Street Blues" lyrics

And then there's Basin Street, that's the street
Where the elite always meet
Down in New Orleans, land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems
Just how much it really means
Glad to be, oh yes-sir-ee
Where welcome's free so dear to me
Where I can lose
My Basin Street blues

Basin Street is the street
Where the elite always meet
Down in New Orleans, land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems
Just how much it really means
I'm so glad to be, yes-sir-ee
Where welcome's free so dear to me
Where I can lose
My Basin Street blues
Where I can lose
Those Basin Street blues
