Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?
Do you know what is means to miss
New Orleans
I miss it, each night and day
The longer I stay away
Miss the moist covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mocking birds use to sing
And I like to see the lazy Mississippi
Are hurrying to spring
The mardy grass memories
Of creool tunes that fill the air
I dream of orleanders in June
And soon I'm wishing that I was there
Do you know what is means to miss New Orleans
And there is something more
I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans
Do you know what is means to miss New Orleans
Do you know what is means to miss New Orleans, and miss it, each night and
day
I know I'm not wrong, the feelin's gettin' stronger the longer I stay away
Miss the moist covered vines, the tall sugar pines, where mocking birds use
to
sing.
And I like to see the lazy Mississippi, a hurrying in to spring
The moonlight on the bayou,
A Creole tune that fills the air;
I dream about magnolias in June,
and soon I'm wishin' 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 one thing more:
I miss the one I care for, more than I miss New Orleans
