And I can hear the band begin
When the Saints Go Marchin' In

And wear the dress I like so well
Meet me at the old saloon
Make sure there's a Dixie Moon
New Orleans I'll be there
And deal the cards, roll the dice

And I wish I was in New Orleans
I can see it in my dreams
Arm in arm down Burgundy

New Orleans I'll be there
