Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans Songtext
von Ellis Marsalis

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss it each night and day
I know I′m not wrong, the feeling's getting stronger
The longer I stay away


Miss the moss-covered vines, tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing
I′d love to see that old lazy Mississippi
Hurrying into Spring

The moonlight on the bayou
A Creole tune that fills the air
I dream about magnolias in bloom
And I'm wishin' 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
