Neil Young - 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 send me money now
I'm gonna make it somehow
I need another chance
You see your baby loves to dance
Yeah...yeah...yeah

    "I wanna eat me a cinnamon roll..I can be happy the rest of my day with a cinnamon roll."
    The parody song that Weird Al forgot to write.

    What a classic, I have played in bands since 1968 and every band covered this great track

  6. A.... S....

    That little doodle on the guitar at the end is one of my favorite sounds of all time

  7. C.... W....

    I grew up with this music, and only in my 20's did I begin to really appreciate that super-rich sound- now I can't get enough of it!

  8. S.... O....

    I may be wrong .This song is either about a black and white girl or heroin. It looks like cinnamon in a bag.

  9. K.... F....

    Iconic. I believe he got into trouble with his wife for this song.

  10. C.... S....

    First heard this on a school bus i used to catch and in the last awful year of high school. Dad lost his job we had to live in our holiday home. I now love it as im 51 and was only 17 thank god im older, dont envy my kids they have so much to go through. Im with a much younger guy sInce leaving their awful older dad. I am a true SURVIVER

  24. K.... L....

    Love this tune!

  25. J.... H....

    One of my favorite songs. It always reminds me of a particular cinnamon girl.

  26. N.... s....

    I was looking for Lana del rey song and i found this great song with this great riff!

  27. K.... H....

    Best Neil Young song way before it’s time...

  28. D.... S....

    This song is so good it could be about anything especially because of what happens from 2.06. Love how it picks up speed as it travels too.

  29. H.... H....

    Love is too strong a word. This song rocks

  30. V.... ....

    Neil Young is one of my mom's favorite singers, yet she never knew he sang this song until I told her that he did.

  31. H.... H....

    🐰🇺🇸🎤🎸🐰A REQUEST, CHEERS. PERSONALLY, I LOVE THIS SONG🐰🐰🇺🇸🎸🎤♥️🇺🇸

  32. H.... Y....

    Wake up and smell the coffee Mac

  33. A.... C....

    I had a cinnamon girl once...damn bitch gave me the clap...🤣

  34. W.... A....

    BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

  35. J.... S....

    guess no one knows that cinnamon girl is brown heroin

  36. R.... S....

    Ya, but who is that dog?

  37. c.... ....

    AWESOME SONG!!!!

  38. G.... L....

    I live and love my Cinnamon Girl ! Oh, what a luck man an I!

  39. R.... T....

    Where’s the dog now, what was its name?

  40. S.... ....

    Maybe the second or third album I ever bought. The first was Boogie with the Canned Heat. At least my memory says it was.

  41. Z.... W....

    This was about me and my first love. She looked so good at the beach in her bikini.

  42. R.... F....

    Loved this album since I got it while in the navy. And WHO else could pull off a “ one note” solo.

    R.... F....

    Actually if listen well it's a two note solo. But I agree, the coolest solo ever.

  43. N.... W....

    Playing this on my old "record player." The memory is still very fresh.

  44. D.... L....

    I used to hate cinnamon until I dated a girl named Cinnamon. Then I put Cinnamon on everything and in everything. Ah, the good ol' days.

  45. M.... K....

    Neil nails the final chord and rides it sick! I love him 😍

  46. E.... V....

    Timeless classic!

  47. d.... ....

    If I ever meet Neil Young, I will give him money. I owe him.

  48. t.... ....

    Neil Young is like fine wine. It gets better with age!

  49. E.... V....

    Sounds like Jack Black.

  50. N.... N....

    My mom’s favorite Neil Young song! She passed only 4 months ago. I’m suffering significantly

    N.... N....

    Do not suffer, every one back to the dirt

    N.... N....

    @Nicole Novo You have friends who care about you, Nicole. Even here on YouTube! Keep chasing the moonlight.

    N.... N....

    I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. I lost my mom 19 years ago and I still miss her. With time though things change a bit and instead of crying you can laugh and remember the good times.

    N.... N....

    Hey Nicole I am terribly sorry about your mom.
    Its a terrible feeling. I know.
    Time does make the edges more rounded.
    All the luck and joy to you, in this world.

    N.... N....

    Sympathies & Blessings Nicole, The Loss Is an Emptiness Of Both Mind & Life. Talk To her Like Shes Still There bcz When Good people Pass they can Come Back & "Visit" look For "Signs" She was there = Rearrangements Of her things....

  51. C.... A....

    Godfather of grunge.

  52. C.... M....

    Only a feather brain nitwit could dislike this great f-n song.

  53. M.... T....

    another genius !!!

  54. a.... ....

    I could cry. This was the music of my youth. I thought it would always be this way. People say I remind them of this song. hmmmm

  55. R.... ....

    For people who down voted this album, why?

  56. D.... V....

    Love this song. The only cover I ever heard that was (perhaps) better was by Bob Mould when he toured with The Pixies in 1989. Completely unexpected and brilliant!

  57. l.... f....

    i'm 63..yes i'm old..lol.. I have allways love this song.. neil young..  check out neil's old man song.. ..god bless you all on youtube

  58. M.... W....

    1969 Young-Classic!

  59. M.... R....

    Listen to starbelly by hole. Then listen back to this. Wtf lol

  60. U.... t....

    WHat is a cinnamon girl? I've always loved this song never caring what it meant but . . .
    that change at 1:51 made me so happy as a child

    U.... t....

    Referring to skin color, like a Filipina.

    U.... t....

    @mike k Nope he was suffering from a high fever and it has NOTHING to do with SKIN color. That is Filipino.

    U.... t....

    @mick griffin Sure Mick, He could be happy the rest of his life with.... a high fever.

  61. T.... M....

    One of my all time favorites,l was 18 when this came out,l had just moved in my first apt and everything was packed except this album and l played it over and over,loved it and still do,so cool 😎

  62. C.... S....

    I'm only 4 years old, but I like this song better than anything they force me to listen to in kindergaarten.

  63. R.... F....

    This is how you Solo.

  64. M.... N....

    Type'O'Negative brought me here )

    M.... N....

  65. T.... C....

    I thought this was a Eric Clapton song

    T.... C....

    No, only Neil.

  66. S.... W....

    Oh this is so Mighty! peace

  67. S.... P....

    Type 0 Negative does it better....love Neil tho🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

    S.... P....

    You can't do it better than the author...

  68. N.... A....

    Neil and the boys, they could get wonderfully loud. Always thought and still do that Neilly is all the Hendrix we deserve.

  69. C.... M....

    I am so glad that this is drifting out into the stars. Maybe they can help me find my Cinnamon Girl.

  70. s.... r....

    The Drummer relaxes and waits between shows for, his cinnamon Girl

  71. J.... B....

    I love this guy but for this particular song after hearing Type O-negative's version this version hurts my ears lol

  72. L.... L....

    It is rumored that this song was about Pamela Courson, the girlfriend of Jim Morrison. She died at at 27 of a heroin overdose.

    L.... L....

    his cinnamon girl is black.

  73. D.... Y....

    I first had this on 8-track cartridge, but because some of the songs were so long, would fade out, switch channels and fade back in during play back. Thank goodness for cassette and CD formats. This is one of my favorite NY songs.

  74. t.... s....

    ending guitar riff is best. 2:36

  75. P.... d....

    Re - MASTER

  76. P.... P....

    It's just too bad that Neils verbalized political opinions are so far left the he makes Putin look like a muslim. Now,I don't feel nearly as bad,pirating his music all these years. WE Never bought his music,or that of CSN,either.

  77. J.... T....

    Can’t beat the OG Crazy Horse with Danny Whitten

  78. J.... G....

    “Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow”. I could never figure out what the hell he was singing for all these years.

  79. D.... S....

    NY!! 💜🖤💜💜✝️🥰🥰💋💋

  80. C.... C....

    lana del reys version of cinnamon girl is better

  81. D.... F....

    One for solo! I love it so much!

  82. K.... ....

    Neil Young rocks!

  83. A.... ....

    air guitar madness and singing at the top of our f'n lungs - we were 14 - thanks dad - you had a great sound system

  84. D.... A....

    I was too young for a Cinnamon girl in the 1960's. I did have a Cinnabon girl in the 1990's though.

    D.... A....

    Hell yea

  85. E.... S....

    I am living with my Cinnamon Girl, she is 9 years old, and she loves to go for very long walks.... I found her at the Animal Shelter. She's wonderful!!!

  86. A.... R....

    Type o negative fez um show com essa música, melhor cover cê doido❤😍

  87. T.... J....

    This is going with me on my death trip. I’m heading for Montana. I need to find an old dog to die with. Don’t tell anyone but I love Jack Russells. She will be loved.

  88. I.... S....

    LANA DEL REY.

    You want to make 471,000 of us look it up? Oh, damn, not again. WHAT YEAR? WHAT CHART POSITION?

  94. M.... P....

    this is early Neil Young, with Crazy Horse. By the way, David Crosby hated Crazy Horse for some reason, said their bass player was worst he ever heard. Neil Young loved them.

  95. J.... D....

    Remember playing this on the jukebox at the pool when I was like 8. My favorite Neil Young song❤
