Won't you come along with me

To the Mississippi?

 
   6       7   6     7   6  6     7    7     -8
We'll take a boat to the land of dreams

Steam down the river, down to New Orleans


 
  4      5        -5  -5    -5   6
The band's there to meet us

 
  7        6        6    6     6    -5
Old friends, there to greet us

 
   6      7   6      7       6     7     7      -8
Where all the proud and elite folks meet

 
 6  7      6      7      6     7   7   88   -9
Heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street

Basin Street is the street

 
   5       5    -7     5   -7-7   -6
Where the best folks always meet

 
 5    5    5  5         5   6     5
In New Orleans, land of dreams

 
   6    -8-8      7      7   -7  -7   -6
You'll never know how nice it seems

 
-6    7   7     -7   -7  -6 -6     6
Or just how much it   really means


 
   5   5   5  -7   -7 -6 6
Glad to be, oh yes-siree

 
    5        5 -7       -6    -5  -5  -5  5
Where welcome's free and dear to me

Where I  can lose, my Basin Street blues
