_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [C] [F] And Basin Street [A] is a street [D] where all the boys and the good folks meet [G] down in New Orleans
[C] In the land of dreams, and you [A] never know how nice it seems
And that's how much it really means, [F] no, no, no, no, no, dear to me
[A] Yes, sirree, [D] dear to me, yes, sirree, can't you see, [G] baby, I can't [Am] lose
Those good old [F] Basin Street [Db] blues

[F] You never know how nice it seems, just how much [Eb] it really means
Hey, I see the moon, and the moon is pale, and it looks like they're taking some cat to jail
No, it's the moon is pale, and the [A] sun is gone, and the steamboats are coming, and they're splashing, and they're going
And [Cm] the pale moon [G] shining on the fields below, [Eb] folks all singing songs [Ab] soft and low
You needn't [Bb] tell me more, cause I [Abm] know, sleepy [Eb] time down south
[Ab] Soft wind blowing [Abm] through the pinewood trees, and the folks down [F] there living life at ease
[Db]
When old [Bb] Mamie falls upon her knees, [Ab] sleepy [Eb] time down south
[G] Steamboats on the river, coming and going, splashing and enjoying _ _
Andrew's ringer, [Am] and everybody [G] singing, you can't hear the [Bb] grandmas neck
[Ab] Hey, dear old darling, [G] I'll keep you song, [Eb] and you take me back to where [Cm] I belong
I want to be [C] in your time zone, [Ab] when it's sleepy [Bb] time down [Ab] south

south
