Merry Christmas New Orleans Lyrics

Merry Christmas New Orleans

Let your heart be light

Hang the stockings

And the mistletoe

By the chimney tonight

Merry Christmas New Orleans

Make the yuletide gay

Do you know just what it means

When you hear me say

From the cypress

Around the Pontchartrain

Down by the river

Just walking in the rain

You smell the beignets

And you hear the train

You swear you never

Going to leave her again

Just bring me coffee and chicory

I'm just going to sit

Beneath this old oak tree

In my T-shirt and cut off jeans

Because it's Christmas

In New Orleans

Merry Christmas New Orleans

With the moss hanging down

Misty moon is on the rise

The lazy river

He ain't making a sound

Street car rattles down

Old Saint Charles

Bound for the CBD

Friends and family

All in the scene

Because it's Christmas

In New Orleans

Oh yeah

It's Christmas

Friends and family

All in the scene

Because it's Christmas

Oh yeah

In New Orleans yeah

It's Christmas time yeah

Friends and family

All in the scene

Because it's Christmas

In New Orleans

It's Christmas time

In New Orleans
