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 creol 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
|
