Cyprus Avenue

Well, I'm caught one more time

Up on Cyprus Avenue

Caught one more time

Up on Cyprus Avenue

And I'm conquered in a car seat

Not a thing that I can do

I may go crazy

Before that mansion on the hill

I may go crazy

Before that mansion on the hill

But my heart keeps beating faster

And my feet can't keep still

And all the little girls rhyme something

On the way back home from school

And all the little girls rhyme something

On the way back home from school

And the leaves fall one by one

And call the autumn time a fool

Yeah, my t-tongue gets tied

Every, every, every time I try to speak

My tongue gets tied

Every time I try to speak

And my inside shakes just like a leaf on a tree

I think I'll go on by the river with my cherry, cherry wine

I believe I'll go walking by the railroad with my cherry, cherry wine

If I pass the rumbling station where the lonesome engine drivers pine

Wait a minute, yonder come my lady

Rainbow ribbons in her hair

Yonder come my lady

Rainbow ribbons in her hair

Six white horses and a carriage

She's returning from the fair

Baby, baby, baby

And I'm caught one more time

Up on Cyprus Avenue

And if I'm, yeah, caught one more time

Up on Cyprus Avenue

And I'm conquered in a car seat

And I'm looking straight at you

Way up on, way up on, way up on

The avenue of trees

Keep walking down

In the wind and the rain, darling

You keep walking down when the sun shone through the trees

Nobody, no, no, no, no, nobody stops me from loving you baby

So young and bold, fourteen-year old

Baby, baby, baby
