Billie Holiday - V-Disc: A Music Contribution By America's Best (For Our Armed Forces Overseas)

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 moist-covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing
And I'd like to see the lazy Mississippi
A hurrying to spring

The Mardi Gras 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
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
