Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans

Man, do you know what it means to miss New Orleans

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans

And miss it each night and day

I know I’m not wrong, this feeling's gettin' stronger

The longer, I stay away

Miss them moss covered vines, the tall sugar pines

Where mockin' birds used to sing

And I'd like to see that lazy Mississippi

Hurryin' into spring

Oh the moonlight on the bayou

A creole tune that fills the air

I dream about Magnolias in bloom

And I'm wishin' I was there

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans

Since that's where you left your heart

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

More than I miss New Orleans
