Louis Armstrong Tribute EP

Basin Street Blues

Now won't you come along with me to the Mississippi?
We'll take a trip to the land of dreams
Blowing down the river, down to New Orleans
The band is there to meet us old friends to greet us
That's where the line and the dark folks meet
A heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street

I said, Basin Street, Basin Street where the elite always meet
Down in New Orleans, the land of dreams you'll never know how nice it seems
Or just how much it really means just to be in New Orleans
The land of dreams where I can lose My Basin Street blues

Now, you're glad you came with me down the Mississippi
We took a trip in a land of dreams and floated down the river down to New Orleans
Where to, Basin Street, Basin Street where the elite always meet
Down in New Orleans, the land of dreams you'll never know how, how much it seems
Or just how much it really means just to be in New Orleans
The land of dreams where I can lose My Basin Street blues

Butter & Egg Man

Now she wants a butter & egg man from way out in the West
She wants somebody who's working all day
So she's got money when she wants to play

Now pretty clothes, they'll never be mine
But what she told me the other day
I hope she don't change her mind
Now she wants a butter & egg man
A great big butter & egg man from way down South

Now she wants a butter & egg man from way out in the West
She wants somebody who's working all day
So she's got money when she wants to play

Georgia On My Mind

Georgia, Georgia the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, a song of you
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach out to me, other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see the road leads back to you
Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind

Georgia, Georgia the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, a song of you
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines

That Old Feeling

 I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling
Why, the moment that you passed by I got a thrill
And when you caught my eye, my heart stood still

And once again, I seem to get that old yearning
Then I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
For that old feeling is still in my heart

I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling
From the moment that you passed by I didn't pass, I stopped, I got a thrill
And when you caught my eye my little heart stood still

And once again, I seem to get that old yearning
Then I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
For that old feeling is still in my heart

Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Glory Hallelujah

Sometimes I'm up and sometimes I'm down you know sometimes I'm almost to the ground
You got here before I do don't forget to tell all my friends I'm coming too

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Glory Hallelujah

Last Night I Dreamed You Kissed Me

Last night I dreamed of you of your dear smile and eyes all blue
If only my dreams come true I'll be so glad my whole life through
Last night I was dreaming I dreamed that that you kissed me
While bright stars were beaming I dreamed that you kissed me

When I awoke with the break of dawn I longed to go dreaming on
You had gone far while I was dreaming I dreamed that you kissed me
And I awoke with the break of dawn I longed to go dreaming on
You had gone far while I was dreaming I dreamed that you kissed me

Last night I dreamed of you of your dear smile and eyes all blue
If only my dreams come true I'll be so glad my whole life through
Last night I was dreaming I dreamed that that you kissed me
While bright stars were beaming I dreamed that you kissed me
