Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans?

(album: Dedicated To Nelson - 1996)

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 getting stronger
The longer, I stay away
Miss them moss covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mocking birds used to sing
And I'd like to see that 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 wishing 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

The moonlight on the bayou
A creole tune
That fills the air
I dream
About magnolias in bloom
And I'm wishing 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
