"Avalon, My Hometown" lyrics

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

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

When I left Avalon, throwing kisses and waving at me
When I left Avalon this morning
Now I'm standing here in a cloud of mystery

Said, "Come here, daddy, now stay right here with me"
"Oh, come back, daddy, now"
"Come back, daddy, now stay right here with me"

I hate to tell you
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

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

There's just one thing now I can't understand
There's just one thing man
Many pretty women in Avalon and just one man

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
