Jim Dixon Lyr Add: Songs about New Orleans (76* d) Lyr Add: CARNIVAL TIME (Estella Daniel, 1912) 07 Feb 14


From the sheet music at Indiana University:


CARNIVAL TIME
Words and music by Mrs. Estella Daniel
New Orleans: L. Grunewald Co., Ltd., ©1912.

1. Down to dear old New Orleans we go for Carnival.
That's the time and place for me, the very best time for all.
See your friends from ev'rywhere; 'tis the place to go.
To have the very best time of your life, stay at home? Oh, no!

CHORUS: Hurrah for New Orleans! Hurrah for Carnival!
Hurrah for the good old times we've had in dear old New Orleans!

2. There the folk are jolly, some, jolly enough for me.
Follow just the merry crowd, full of life and glee.
There they go and here they come, up and down Canal.
That's the way to do, you know, when you're at Carnival.


[There are many recordings called CARNIVAL TIME but I think they are mostly of different songs, not this one.]
