Do you know what it means
to miss New Orleans
I miss it both night and day
I know that it's wrong
this feeling's gettin' stronger
The longer I stay away
Miss them moss covered
vinesthe tall sugar pines
Where mockin' birds used to sing
And I'd like to see that lazy
Mississippihurryin' into spring
The moonlight on the bayou
a Creole tune that fills the air
I dream of oleanders in Juneand soon
I'm wishin'that you were there
Do you know what it means
to miss New Orleans
And 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
Do you know what it means
to miss New Orleans
And that's where I left my heart
And there's something more
I miss the one I care for
More more than I miss New Orleans
