Avalon Blues (Mississippi John Hurt)

Got to New York this mornin', just about half-past nine Got to New York this mornin', just about half-past nine Hollerin' one mornin' in Avalon, couldn't hardly keep from cryin' 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 When the train left Avalon, throwin' kisses and wavin' at me When the train left Avalon, throwin' kisses and wavin' at me Says, "Come back, daddy, stay right here with me" Avalon's a small town, have no great big range Avalon's a small town, have no great big range Pretty mama's in Avalon, they sure will spend your change New York's a good town but it's not for mine New York's a good town but it's not for mine Goin' back to Avalon, near where I have a pretty mama all the time
