Bb                          D7
A barefoot choir in prayer fills the air
Eb    Edim7       Bb7      G7
Mississippi folks gathering there
            C9 Cm7         F7      Bb
'Cause it's Christmas time in New Orleans
              D7
You'll see a Dixieland Santa Claus
     D7                 Gm      D7     Gm
Leading the band to a good old Creole beat
C9
Golly, what a spirit, you can only hear it
Cm7                 F9(#5)
Down on Basin Street
Bb                      D7
Your kids will disappear, when you hear

Your kids will disappear and when you hear
