Avalon, My Hometown (About Allen Mississippi) Songtext
Avalon, my hometown, always on my mind
Avalon, my hometown, always on my mind
Pretty mama′s in Avalon, want me there all the time
Left Avalon this mornin' ′bout half-past nine
Left Avalon this mornin'
Pretty mama's in Avalon, want me there all the time
When I left Avalon, throwin′ kisses and wavin′ at me
Left Avalon this mornin'
Left Avalon this mornin′, throwin' kisses and wavin′ at me
Says, "Come back, daddy, stay right here with me"
"Oh, come back, daddy"
"Oh, come back, daddy and stay right here with me"
Oh, mama, hate to tell ya pretty mama
Hate to tell you pretty mama, you've got to know
Hate to tell you pretty mama
I′m leavin' Avalon, ain't comin′ back no more
Avalon, my hometown, always on my mind
Avalon, my hometown
Pretty mama′s in Avalon, want me there all the time
New York's a good town but it′s not for mine
New York's a good town
Pretty mama′s in Avalon, want me there all the time
One thing, I can't understand
One thing, man
Many pretty mama′s in Avalon and I'm just one man
Avalon, my hometown
Avalon, my hometown
Pretty mama's in Avalon, want me there all the time
Avalon, my hometown, always on my mind
Pretty mama′s in Avalon, want me there all the time
Left Avalon this mornin' ′bout half-past nine
Left Avalon this mornin'
Pretty mama's in Avalon, want me there all the time
When I left Avalon, throwin′ kisses and wavin′ at me
Left Avalon this mornin'
Left Avalon this mornin′, throwin' kisses and wavin′ at me
Says, "Come back, daddy, stay right here with me"
"Oh, come back, daddy"
"Oh, come back, daddy and stay right here with me"
Oh, mama, hate to tell ya pretty mama
Hate to tell you pretty mama, you've got to know
Hate to tell you pretty mama
I′m leavin' Avalon, ain't comin′ back no more
Avalon, my hometown, always on my mind
Avalon, my hometown
Pretty mama′s in Avalon, want me there all the time
New York's a good town but it′s not for mine
New York's a good town
Pretty mama′s in Avalon, want me there all the time
One thing, I can't understand
One thing, man
Many pretty mama′s in Avalon and I'm just one man
Avalon, my hometown
Avalon, my hometown
Pretty mama's in Avalon, want me there all the time
