Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans

Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans - Louis Armstrong & Billie Holiday

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' into spring

The moonlight on the bayou

A creole tune that fills the air

I dream about magnolias in bloom

And 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

Do you know what is means to miss New Orleans

I miss it each night and day

I know I'm got longer love feelin' getin' stronger

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 mardy grass memories

Of creol tunes that fill the air

I dream of Orleanders in June

And soon I'm wishing that I was there

Do you know what is means to miss New Orleans

And I miss it each night and day

And there is something more

I miss the one I care for

More than I miss New Orleans
