Avalon Blues lyrics
by Mississippi John Hurt
[Verse 1]
New York this mornin', just about half-past nine
New York this mornin', just about half-past nine
[Verse 2]
Avalon's my hometown, always on my mind
Avalon's my hometown, always on my mind
Pretty mamas in Avalon, they want me there all the time
[Verse 3]
When I left Avalon, throwin' kisses and wavin' at me
When I left Avalon, they were throwin' kisses, wavin' at me
When I left Avalon, throwin' kisses and wavin' at me
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Hate to tell you, mama, but you have got to know
Hate to tell you, pretty mama
I'm leavin' Avalon, and I ain't comin' back no more
[Verse 5]
It's one thing I can't understand
It's just one thing I can't understand
Pretty mamas in Avalon, they just want one man
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Avalon's my hometown, always on my mind
Avalon's my hometown, always on my mind
Pretty mamas in Avalon, they want me there all the time
