Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans? - Lee Wiley/Deane Kincaide Dixieland Band
Lyrics by:Eddie Delange/Louis Alter
Composed by:Eddie Delange/Louis Alter
Do you know what it means
To miss New Orleans
And miss it each night and day
I know I'm not wrong this feeling's gettin' stronger
The longer I stay away
Miss them moss covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mockin' birds used to sing
And I'd like to see that lazy Mississippi
Hurryin' that to spring
The moonlight on the bayou a creole
Tune that fills the air
I dream about Magnolias in June
Soon I'm wishin' 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 one thing more
I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans
Miss them moss covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mockin' birds used to sing
And I'd like to see that lazy Mississippi
Hurryin' that to spring
The moonlight on the bayou a creole
Tune that fills the air
I dream about Magnolias in June
Soon I'm wishin' that I was there
Do you know what it means
To miss New Orleans
'Cause that's where you left your heart
And there's one thing more
I miss the one I care for
More than I miss
More than I miss New Orleans
