Do You Know What It Means to Miss Orleans - Ricky Nelson

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans

And 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 mockin' birds use to sing

And I’d like to see the lazy Mississippi

A hurryin' into spring

The moonlight on the bayou

A creole tune that fills the air

I dream about magnolias in June

And soon 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 something 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 June

And soon 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 something more

I miss the one I care for

More than I miss New Orleans

More than I miss New Orleans
