Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans Songtext
von Jimmy Buffett

The king of gas, bless y′all
Our Gulf Coast brother, James Buffett
Maybe has one more little treat in store
I forgot my wine, that's my excuse to come back up here
But that′s not really it because
There are many, many good things that happen to me in this crazy job
But one of them is to be able to sit on this stage in New Orleans
With my dear friend Mr. Allen Toussaint

We just kind of, ah
Figured we're gonna do this at the end as the sun's goin′ down here
And, ah, I know what it means to miss this town

Do you know what it mean to miss New Orlean?
Miss her both night and day?
I know it′s gettin' wrong but the feeling′s getting stronger
Longer I been away

Miss the moss covered vine, the tall sugar pine
Where mockingbirds used to sing
I'd love to see that ole lazy Mississippi
Hurryin′ into spring


Moonlight on the bayou
Creole tunes fill the air
I dream of magnolia's in bloom
Wishin′ you were here

Do you know what it mean to miss New Orlean?
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
Maestro

Moonlight on the bayou
Sweet magnolia blossoms in the air
How I long to see that mighty Mississippi
Runnin′ into spring

Do you know what it mean to miss New Orlean?
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 Orlean

More than I miss
You and you and you and you and you and you and
New Orlean
