|
Magnolia trees at night, sparkling bright |
|
Fields of cotton look wintry white |
|
When it's Christmas time in New Orleans |
|
A barefoot choir in prayer fills the air |
|
Mississippi folks 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 |
|
Golly, what a spirit, you can only hear it |
|
Down on Basin Street |
|
Your kids will disappear, when you hear |
|
Hallelujah, St. Nicholas is here |
|
When it's Christmas time in New Orleans |
|
You'll see a Dixieland Santa Claus |
|
A leading the band to a good, good old Creole beat |
|
And golly, what a spirit and you can only hear it |
|
A down on Basin Street |
|
Your kids will disappear and when you hear |
|
Hallelujah, old Santa is near |
|
When it's Christmas time in New Orleans |
|
Yes, when it's Christmas time |
|
It's Christmas time in New Orleans |
