Louis Armstrong — Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans

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 moss-covered vines, the tall sugar pines Where mockingbirds used to sing And I'd like to see the lazy Mississippi A-hurrying into spring Oh the Mardi Gras, the memories Of Creoles' tunes that filled the air I dream of oleanders in June And soon I'm wishing that I were 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
