Do You Know What It Means - Papa Bue's Viking Jazzband
Do you know what it means to Miss New Orleans
I miss it each night and day
I know I'm not wrong,
because the feeling's getting stronger the longer I stay away
Miss the moist covered vines
and the tall sugar pines
Where mocking birds used to sing
And I'd like to see the lazy Mississippi
A hurrying down, down into spring
The Mardi Gras and the 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
I miss it each night and day
But there's something more
I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans
