Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss it each night and day
Well I know I'm not wrong... the feeling's gettin' stronger
The longer, I stay away
Miss those moss covered vines...the tall sugar pines
Where mockin' birds used to sing
And I'd love to see that old lazy Mississippi are hurryin' about into spring
fill the air
I dream about magnolias in bloom, and soon I am wishin' I was there
Now, do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
For that's where I left my heart
And there's one, one thing more...I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans
And that's you
