Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?
And miss her each night and day
I know I'm not wrong because the feeling's
Gettin' stronger the longer I stay away

Miss the moss covered vines, tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing
And I'd love to see that old lazy Mississippi
Runnin' in the spring

Moonlight on the bayous
Creole tunes fill the air
I dream about magnolias in June
And I'm wishin' I was there

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

Oh, moonlight on the bayous
Creole tunes fill the air
I dream about magnolias in June
And I'm wishin' I was there

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