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 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

The moonlight on the bayou

A Creole tune that fills the air

Oh, I dream about magnolias in June

And wishin' that I was there

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans

When that's where you left your heart

There's one thing more I miss the one I care for

More than I 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 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 a-hurryin' into spring

Oh the muddy grass and the memories

Of Creole tunes that fill the air

I dream of oleanders in June

And still I'm wishin' that I were there, were 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

More than I miss New Orleans

More than I miss New Orleans
