Текст песни Louis Armstrong - Basin Street Blues

Basin Street Blues
Words & Music by Spencer Williams, 1926
Recorded by Louis Armstrong, 1928

Won't you come along with me

                     +5            +5
Down that Mis - sis - sip - pi;

We'll take a boat to the land of dreams,

Steam down the river down to New Orleans.

The band's there to greet us,

                  +5            +5
Old friends will meet us,

Where all people like to meet

Heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street

Basin Street is the street

Where the elite always meet --

In New Orleans, land of dreams

You'll never know how nice it seems

Or just how much it really means.

Glad to be, yessiree,

Where welcomes free, dear to me,

Where I can lose    my Ba - sin Street Blues.
