| Magnolia trees at night sparkling bright |
| Fields of cotton look wintery white |
| When it’s Christmastime in New Orleans |
| A barefoot choir in prayer fills the air |
| Mississippi folks are gathering there |
| When it’s Christmastime 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 Tremé Street |
| Your cares 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 old Creole beat |
| And golly, what a spirit, you can only hear it |
| Down on Tremé Street |
| Your cares will disappear when you hear |
| Hallelujah, old St. Nicholas is here |
| When it’s Christmastime in New Orleans |
| When it’s Christmastime in New Orleans |
