Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
I 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 mockingbirds use to sing
And I'd like to see the lazy Mississippi
A hurry in to spring
The mardi grass memories
Of Creole tunes that fill the air
I dream of oleanders in June
And soon I'm wishing that I was there
Do you know what is 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
I 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 mockingbirds use to sing
And I'd like to see the lazy Mississippi
A hurry in to spring
The mardi grass memories
Of Creole tunes that fill the air
I dream of oleanders in June
And soon I'm wishing that I was there
Do you know what is 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
