Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans
by Eddie DeLange

Do you know what is means to miss New Orleans
I miss it, each night and day
I know I'm not wrong
The feelings getting stronger
The longer I stay away
Miss the moss-covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mocking birds use to sing
And I like to see the lazy Mississippi
Hurrying into spring

The moonlight on the bayou
A creole tune that fills 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
When that's where you left your heart
And there is something more
I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans
