Do you know what it means to miss new orleans
And miss her each night and day
I know I’m not wrong because 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
Running in the spring
Moonlight on the bayous
Creole tunes fill the air
I dream about magnolias in june
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
