Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss it each night and day
I know I'm not wrong... this feeling's gettin' stronger

The longer, I stay away
Miss them moss covered vines...the tall sugar pines
Where mockin' birds used to sing

And I'd 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 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


[Instrumental break]


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.....more than I miss.......New Orleans
