C'mon take me to the [A]Mardi Gras where the people sing and [E]play
Where the dancing is elite and there's [E7]music in the street both night and [A]day
Hurry take me to the [A]Mardi Gras in the city of my [E]dreams
You can legalize your lows you can [E7]wear your summer clothes in the New Or[A]leans [A7]
And I will lay my burden [D]down rest my head upon that shore
And when I wear that starry [Dm7]crown I won't be wanting any[E]more
Take your burdens to the Mardi [A]Gras let the music wash your [E]soul
You can mingle in the street you can jingle to the [E7]beat of Jelly [A]Roll
