Fritzel's New Orleans Jazz Band Lyrics - Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans

Fritzel's New Orleans Jazz Band - Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans

Do you know what it means, now 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

I miss the moss-covered vines, those tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing
And I'd like to see, oh now that old lazy Mississippi
Hu-hurrying into Spring

Oh now, that moonlight on, old Bayou St. John
Now, a Creole tune that fills the air
Now I dream about magnolias in bloom
And soon I'm wishin' that I was there

Now do you know what it means, now to miss New Orleans
If that's where you left your home
And something more, now I miss the ones I care for
More than I miss New Orleans

Oh now, that moonlight on, old Bayou St. John
Now, a Creole tune that fills the air
Now I dream about magnolias in bloom
And soon I'm wishin' I was there

Now do you know what it means, now to miss New Orleans
If that's where you left your heart
But there's one thing more, now I miss the ones I care for
Even more than I miss New Orleans
