Testo Basin Street Blues/ When It's Sleepy Time Down South - Louis Prima
Testo della canzone Basin Street Blues/ When It's Sleepy Time Down South (Louis Prima), tratta dall'album At the Movies: Lights! Camera! Zooma! Zooma!
And Basin Street is a street
Where all the boys and the good folks meet
Down in New Orleans, in the land of dreams
And you never know how nice it seems
Just how much it really means
You're dear to me, yes siree
Dear to me, yes siree, can't you see
Baby, I can't lose
Those good old Basin Street blues
Never know how nice it seems
Just how much it really means
Hey, I see the moon and the moon is pale
And it look like they're taking some cat to jail
No, it's the moon is pale and the sun is
And the sun is gone and the steamboats are comin'
And they're splashin' and a-goin', woo-woo!
And the pale moon shining on the fields below
Folks all singin' songs soft and low
You needn't tell me boy 'cause I know
Sleepy time down south
Soft wind blowin' through the pinewood trees
And the folks down there live a life of ease
When old Mamie falls upon her knees
Sleepy time down south
Steamboats on the river
Comin' and goin'
Splashin' in the nighttime
Cajons ringin', everybody singin'
They dance 'til the break of day
Dear old Southland, my dreamy song
And you take me back there where I belong
How I'd love to be there in my mammy's arms
When it's sleepy time down south
Steamboats on the river
And they're comin' and goin'
And they splash in the nighttime
And your banjos ringin', everybody singin'
They dance 'til the break of day
Dear old Southland, my dreamy song
And you take me back there where I belong
How I'd love to be there in my mammy's arms
When it's sleepy time down south
