magnolia trees at night
sparkling bright
fields of cottons look
wintery white
when it's christmastime
in new orleans
a barefoot choir
in prayer fills the air
mississippi fools gathering there
cause it's christmastime
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 christmastime
in new orleans
you'll see a dixieland
santa claus
leading the band to a good
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 christmastime
in new orleans
