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
A hurryin' into spring
Oh the miles across the memories
A Creole tunes that fill the air
I dream of all the Anders in June
And so 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 Orleans
