Cincinnati Stranger
Cincinnati stranger you're always on my mind
And I don't know why I left you far behind
The roads I walked were paved with gold like pictures that I've seen
And the marks of time are showing on my face
Your memories of days gone by don't satisfy my soul
Cause the light of love has passed me by one time
And she's my Cincinnati stranger and she's always on my mind
And I don't know why I left her far behind
[ piano ]
I've never known a place called home in all the towns I've seen
And the girls I've had could never tie me down
But memories of sweet perfume still linger on my mind
Cause the only one I loved is far behind
And she's my Cincinnati stranger in that lonesome river town
I'll be on my way before the sun goes down
