Lyrics

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 gatherin' there
'Cause it's Christmas time in New Orleans
You'll see a dixieland Santa Claus leadin' the band
To a good ol' 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 a-leadin' the band
To a good, good ol' Creole beat
And golly, what a spirit, and you can only hear it
A-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
Written by: D.R., J.Van Winkle, Richard M. Sherman
