Christmas in New Orleans

Magnolia trees at night
Sparkling bright
Fields of cotton look wintery white
When it's Christmas time In New Orleans

A barefoot choir in prayer fills the air
Mississippi folks are gathering there
'Cause it's Christmas time in New Orleans

You'll see a dixieland Santa Claus
Leading the band to a good old Creole beat
And golly what a spirit, you can only hear it
Down on Basin Street

Your cares will disappear when you here
Hallelujah St. Nicholas is here
When it's Christmas time in New Orleans

You'll see a dixieland Santa Claus
Leading the band to a good old Creole beat
And golly what a spirit, you can only hear it
Down on Basin Street

Your cares will disappear, and when you here
Hallelujah, old Santa is there
When it's Christmas time in New Orleans
Yes when it's Christmas time
It's Christmas time in New Orleans
