Lyrics Ricky Nelson

Ricky Nelson

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, the feelings getting stronger

The longer I stay away

Miss the moss covered vines

The tall sugar pines

Where mockin' birds use to sing

And I'd like to see the lazy Mississippi

A hurryin' into spring

The moonlight on the bayou

A creole tune that fills the air

I dream about magnolias in June

And soon I'm wishing that I was there

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans

When 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

The moonlight on the bayou

A creole tune that fills the air

I dream about magnolias in June

And soon I'm wishing that I was there

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans

When 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

More than I miss New Orleans
