Cinnamon Girl Lyrics

I wanna live with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures I run in the night
You see us together, chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.

Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes and waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures I run in the night
You see us together, chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.

Pa sent me money now
I'm gonna make it somehow
I need another chance
You see your baby loves to dance
Yeah...yeah...yeah.

Well,I like cinnamon and girls so I really can't help but like this song. Now if is was called chamomile or coriandor girl, I think I and many others may have had some serious issues with this song. So he definitely got his herb right (btw as a side note Simon and Garfunkle made good choices as well with Sage, Rosemary and Thyme in Scarborough Fair- those 60's groups really knew their herbs!) Oh, and this song has a killer riff too.

You make an intersting point. This must be why there are no songs about cilantro.

I for one, am for it....but I suppose it's not for everyone.

and their cannabis!!!! haha jkjk

Why do I have this idea that this song is related to the one the Rolling Stones sing? That one about brown sugar.

Cinnamon Girl" is about a hippie girl he encountered on a street while walking home... it is not about a drug dealer

Seems as though I remember hearing that he wrote this and Cowgirl in the Sand when he was running a really high fever and he claimed that he didn't remember what either song was about afterward (at least when asked by his wife).
