Do you know what it means to miss new orleans
And miss it each night and day
I know I'm not wrong... This feelings gettin stronger
The longer, I stay away
Miss them moss covered vines...the tall sugar pines
Where mockin birds used to sing
And id 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 thats where you left your heart
And theres one thing more...I miss the one I care for
More than I miss new orleans

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 thats where you left your heart
And theres one thing more...I miss the one I care for
More.....more than I miss.......new orleans
