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

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

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 old Creole beat

And golly what a spirit

You can only hear it

Down on Basin Street

Your cares will disappear

When you hear

Hallelujah old St. Nicholas is here

When it's Christmas time

In New Orleans



When it's Christmas time in

It's Christmas time in in New Orleans
