Drop Me off in New Orleans Lyrics

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 Mardi Gras memories

Of Creol 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
