Do you know what is means to miss new orleans And miss it each night and day

I know I'm not wrong The feeling's getting stron - ger The longer I stay a - way

Miss the moss co vered vines The tall sugar pines Where mocking birds used to sing

And I'd like to see the lazy Missis si ppi A hurrying in - to spring

The moon - light on the bayou a creole tunes that fills the air

I dream a - bout magnolias in june and soon I'm wishin' 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 something more I miss the one I care for More than I miss New Or - leans
