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 getting stronger

The longer I stay away

Miss the moss-covered vines, tall sugar pines

Where mockingbirds used to sing

I'd love to see that old lazy Mississippi

Hurrying into Spring

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
