New Orleans

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

Getting stronger the longer I stay awayMiss the moss-covered vines, tall sugar pines

Where mockingbirds used to sing

I'd love to see that old lazy Mississippi

Running in the springMoonlight on the bayous

Creole tunes fill the air

I dream about magnolias in June

And I'm wishin I was thereDo 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
