Hoist up a few tall cool ones play some

callin me home.

"When the Saints Go Marchin' In"

New      Orleans I'll be      there

[Bridge 2]
               E7
I'll drink you under the table
A              F#m7
beer red nose, go for walks

the old haunts what I wants
E                E7
is red beans and rice

Meet me at the old saloon

Make sure there's a Dixie Moon

New     Orleans I'll be    there

[Bridge 3]
             E7

If it ain't that ole Chuck E. Weiss
    B7               E                        E7
And Claythorn Avenue me and you Sam Jones and all

I can see it in my dreams
A      A7       D       A/E
Arm in arm down Burgund-y
   A      D     A           D
A bottle and my friends and me,
    A  B7    E    F      A
New Or-leans I'll be.... there
