Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans? Lyrics - 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 

The feeling's getting stronger 

The longer I stay away 

Miss the moist covered vines 

The tall sugar pines 

Where mocking birds used to sing 

And I'd like to see the lazy Mississippi 

A hurrying into spring 

The Mardi Gras memories 

Of creole tunes that filled the air 

I dream of oleanders 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
