| 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 |
