Chinatown, My Chinatown

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?

I miss it each night and day

I know I'm not wrong, the feeling's gettin' stronger

The longer I stay away

Miss the moss covered vines, the tall sugar pines

Where mockin' birds used to sing

And I'd like to see the lazy Mississippi

Hurryin' into spring

The Mardi Gras, the memories

Of Creole's tunes that fills the air

I dream of old [unverified] in June

And soon I'm wishin' that I were there

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans

When that's where I left my heart?

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

More than I miss New Orleans
