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
The moonlight on the bayou
A creole tune
That fills the air
I dream
About magnolias in bloom
And I'm wishin' 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 one thing 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 bloom
And I'm wishin' I was 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
