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 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 cares 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 Leading the band to a good- good old Creole beat And golly what a spirit And you can only hear it Down on Basin Street Your cares 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
