    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 is my hometown, always on my mind
    Avalon is 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, and 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
