(piano only version)
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
I miss it each night and day
I know I’m not wrong
The feelings getting stronger
The longer I stay awayMiss the moss covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds use to sing
And I’d like to see the lazy Mississippi
A hurry in to springThe mardi grass memories
Of Creole tunes that fill the air
I dream of oleanders in June
And soon I’m wishing that I was thereDo you know what is 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

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
I miss it each night and day
I know I’m not wrong
The feelings getting stronger
The longer I stay awayMiss the moss covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds use to sing
And I’d like to see the lazy Mississippi
A hurry in to springThe mardi grass memories
Of Creole tunes that fill the air
I dream of oleanders in June
And soon I’m wishing that I was thereDo you know what is 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

(Louis Armstrong singing)
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
I miss it most night and day
I know I’m not wrong
The feelings getting stronger
The more I stay awayMiss the moss colored vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds seem to sing
And I’d like to see the lazy Mississippi
A hurry in to springOh, the mardi grass the memories
Of Creole tunes that fill the air
I dream the oleanders in spring
That’s when I’m wishing that I was thereDo you know what is 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(Billie Holiday singing)
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
I miss it each night and day
I know I’m not wrong
The feelings getting stronger
The longer I stay awayMiss the moss covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds use to sing
And I’d like to see the lazy Mississippi
A hurry in to springThe mardi grass memories
Of Creole tunes that fill the air
I dream of oleanders in June
And still I’m wishing that I was thereDo you know what is means to miss New Orleans
I miss it each night and day
And there’s something more
I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans
