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 like to see the lazy Mississippi
Hurrying into Spring

The moonlight on the bayou
A Creole tune that filled the air
I dream about magnolias in June
And now I'm wishing 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

The moonlight on the bayou
A Creole tune that filled the air
I dream about magnolias in June
And now I'm wishing that I was there

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?
In that's where you left your heart
If there's something more, I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans
