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, tall sugar pines
Where mocking birds used to sing
And I like to see that old lazy Mississippi
Hurrying into Spring
(2ª parte)
The moon lays on the bayou
Of Creool tunes that fills the air
I dream my falses magnolies 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 something more, I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans
yeah, more than! miss New Orleans
yeah, more than! miss New Orleans.
