Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?

Do you know what it means To miss New Orleans And miss it each night and day I know I'm not wrong The feeling's getting stronger The longer I stay away Miss the moss covered vines The tall sugar pines Where mockingbirds used to sing And I'd like to see the lazy Mississippi A-hurrying into Spring Oh, the Mardi Gras memories Of creole tunes that filled the air I dream of oleanders in June And soon I'm wishing that I was there Do you know what it means To miss New Orleans When that's where you've left your heart And there's something more I miss the one I care for More than I miss New Orleans
