Avalon, My Hometown

Mississippi John Hurt

[Verse 1]
Avalon, my hometown, always on my mind
Avalon's my hometown, always on my mind
Pretty women in Avalon want me there all the time

[Verse 2]
Left Avalon this morning, about half-past nine
Left Avalon this morning
Pretty women in Avalon want me there all the time

[Verse 3]
Oh, when I left Avalon, throwin' kisses and wavin' at me
When I left Avalon this morning
Now I'm standin' here in a cloud of mystery

[Verse 4]
Said come here daddy now, stay right here with me
Oh, come back daddy now
Well come back daddy now, stay right here with me

[Verse 5]
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm, I hate to tell you

[Verse 6]
I hate to tell you pretty mama, but you got to know
I hate to tell you
I'm leaving Avalon, ain't coming back no more

[Verse 7]
Now New York's a good town but it's not for mine
New York's a good town
And it sure doesn't have what I left Avalon to find

[Verse 8]
Mmm, there's just one thing now I can't understand
There's just one thing man
Many pretty women in Avalon and uh, just one man

[Verse 1]
Avalon's my hometown, always on my mind
Avalon's my hometown, always on my mind
Pretty women in Avalon want me there all the time
