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

(instrumental break)

The moonlight on the bayou…….a creole tune…. that fills the air
I dream… about magnolias in bloom……and Im 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
