Louis Armstrong and the All-Stars - Christmas in New Orleans (Decca Records 1955)

"Christmas in New Orleans" by Dick Sherman and Joe Van Winkle. Popularised by Louis Armstrong.

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
"Christmas in New Orleans" is a song by Dick Sherman and Joe Van Winkle. Popularised by Louis Armstrong.

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
