Down in New Orleans – The Princess and the Frog (Disney)

Here’s my attempt at “Down in New Orleans” from Disney’s animated film, The Princess and the frog.  I found this one really tricky to try and work out, so let me know if there are any obvious fixes so i can make it better 🙂 Otherwise I hope you enjoy!
