lyrics

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss her 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
I'd like to see that old lazy Mississippi
A hurrying into spring

The moonlight on the bayous
Creole tunes that fill the air
I dream about magnolias 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 left your heart
And there's something more, I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans

... Yes I know what it means to miss New Orleans
Cos honey that’s my home town
Soon I’ll say with thee
That I’ll be
Louisiana bound
That’s where I left my heart
Where jazz got its start
And Bulden called his children home
Where young Louis first blew a hole
Why did I ever roam?

I miss her Mississippi and her delta
Preservation Hall and Bourbon Street
And with that second line or dancin’ Helter Skelter
I get fidgety feet

Yes I know what it means to miss New Orleans
And I’m going back someday
My old friends I’m gonna greet
I will hear that Dixie beat
When I finally get back to New Orleans
