New Orleans

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans

And miss her each night and day

I know I'm not wrong because the feeling's

Getting stronger the longer I stay away

Miss the moss-covered vines, tall sugar pines

Where mockingbirds used to sing

I'd love to see that old lazy Mississippi

Running in the spring

Moonlight on the bayous

Creole tunes fill the air

I dream about magnolias in June

And I'm wishin I was there

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans

When that's where you left your heart

And there's one thing more, I miss the one I care for

More than I miss New Orleans
