lyrics

Do you know what it means
To miss New Orleans
And miss it each night and day
I know I’m not wrong
And this feeling's gettin' stronger
The longer I stay away

Miss them moss covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mocking 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' 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 Mardi Gras and the memories
Of creole tunes that filled the air
I dream of oleanders in June
And soon I'm wishing 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
