verse 1 Well I got to Haight I was a little late It was an empty dream, I found Gone away, child, to another day When they passed the flowers around So I turned my collar away from the chill Of the San Francisco night Turned my head back cross the water, Lord Everything’s going to be all right There might be war in the core of Baltimore Or a breakdown in L.A. They bring you down in the heart of Memphis town And people look the other way Well, if the lights burn cold in New York City It’s sad, but God, it’s true I got John and Mary and sanctuary On Telegraph Avenue verse 2 Well the eagle don’t fly the Alabama sky They chained him to the ground Colorado, Lord, don’t want me now It’s all right I’ve been found So Mama stop your crying, don’t worry about me It’s gonna work out fine some day If you gave me a million dollar bill You couldn’t turn my heart away. There might be war in the core of Baltimore Or a breakdown in L.A. They bring you down in the heart of Memphis town And people look the other way Well, if the lights burn cold in New York City It’s sad, but God, it’s true I got John and Mary and sanctuary On Telegraph Avenue Oh I love you I do love you Oh my friend I love you Oh, ohhh
