Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans? — Billie Holiday

Eddie delange / loise alter

Do you know what is means to miss new orleans I miss it, each night and day The longer i stay away Miss the moist covered vines The tall sugar pines Where mocking birds use to sing And i like to see the lazy mississippi Are hurrying to spring The mardy grass memories Of creool tunes that fill the air I dream of orleanders in june And soon i'm wishing that i was there Do you know what is means to miss new orleans And there is something more I miss the one i care for More than i miss new orleans
