Basin Street,
That's the street,
Where the elite
Always meet,
In New Orleans,
The Land of Dreams.

Spencer Williams

I'm goin' to Tishomingo,
Because I'm sad today.
I wish to linger,
Way down old Dixie way.
Oh my weary heart cries out in pain,
Oh how I wish that I was back again.
With a race,
In a place,
Where they make you welcome all the time.
