(Bb)In in Gert Or leans where the (F7)cats all meet is the Mar di Gras Mam bo (Bb)with a beat.

down in New Or (Bb)leans.

(Bb)Down in New Or leans where the (F7)blues was born, is it takes a cool cat to (Bb)blow a horn.

(Bb)Mar di Gras Mam bo, Mam bo, Mam bo.

(Bb)Mar di Gras Mam bo, Mam bo, Mam bo.
