Lyrics

Do you know what it means to miss new orleans
And miss her each night and day
I know I'm not wrong this feeling's getting stronger
The longer I stay away

Miss the moss-covered vines, the tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing
And I'd like to see that lazy mississippi
Hurrying into the spring

Moonlight on the bayous
A creole tune 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
