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
