Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans

Eddie De Lange, Louis Alter

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, the memories
Of Creoles' tunes that filled the air
I dream of oleanders in June
And soon I'm wishing that I were 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
