"Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans" by Louis Armstrong

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 gettin' stronger:
The longer I stay away.

Miss them moss covered vines, the tall sugar pines,
Where mockin' birds used to sing.
And I'd like to see that lazy Mississippi
hurryin' 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.
