Sam Cooke - Basin Street Blues 1964

KAR by Geoffrey Carter 23rd January 2014

Basin Street.. Basin Street...
That's the place
Where my friends all meet
Down in New Orleans
In that land of dreams
And you don't know
How nice it seems...

It's dear to me
Yes siree
And that's the place
I'm so longing to be
Where I can lose
These old Basin Street Blues
Oh~~oh...

Basin Street.. my Basin Street...
Where the young and
The old folk meet
Down in New Orleans
In that land of dreams
You don't know how
Nice it really seems...

But it's dear to me
Yes siree
And that's the place
I'm so longing to be
Where maybe I can lose
These old Basin Street Blues
Oh man I'm talking about...

Basin Street.. Basin Street...
Where the folk who know
What's happ'ning meet
Down in New Orleans
In the land of dreams
And you don't know
How nice it seems
And just how much
It really means...

Dear to me..
Yes siree..
It's dear to me..
Yes siree..
Can't you see
Why I wanna lose
These old Basin Street Blues
Oh I~.. wanna go
Where I can lose
These old Basin Street Blues...

Oh~.. Yeah....
