Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?

Do you know what is means to miss New Orleans I miss it, each night and day The longer I stay away Miss the moist covered vines The tall sugar pines Where mocking birds use to sing And I like to see the lazy Mississippi Are hurrying to spring The Mardi Gras memories Of creole tunes that fill the air I dream of oleanders in June And soon I'm wishing that I was there Do you know what is means to miss New Orleans And there is something more I miss the one I care for More than I miss New Orleans
