                     A
C'mon take me to the Mardi Gras

Where the people sing and play
          E7

Both night and day

In New Orleans

                         D
And I will lay my burden down
                       D
Rest my head upon that shore
                            C
And when I wear that starry crown
                      Em   E   E7
I won't be wanting anymore

Let the music wash your soul
        E7
You can mingle in the street
        E7                              A
You can jingle to the beat of the jelly roll
