Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?

And I'm wishin' I was there
Oh, moonlight on the bayous
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?
More than I miss New Orleans

Creole tunes fill the air
Creole tunes fill the air
Runnin' in the spring
I know I'm not wrong because the feeling's
And I'm wishin' I was there

Miss the moss covered vines, tall sugar pines
More than I miss New Orleans
Moonlight on the bayous
And there's one thing more, I miss the one I care for

I dream about magnolias in June
Where mockingbirds used to sing
When that's where you left your heart

And there's one thing more, I miss the one I care for
Gettin' stronger the longer I stay away
I dream about magnolias in June
And I'd love to see that old lazy Mississippi
When that's where you left your heart
