Thames Delta Blues |
With his tonsils and sneakers, guitar in hand |
Hundred watt speakers and his traveling band |
He’s got his traveling band |
Well, from Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans too |
Lonesome Jaxman was his nom-de-plume |
That was his nom-de-plume |
Listenin' to his heroes — paying his dues |
He’s the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues |
Thames Delta Blues |
Like all his heroes he was something to see |
Lit up the stage like a Christmas tree |
Just like a Christmas tree — woo |
Didn’t care for business he rose to the top |
Said, I’ll roll 'til I’m old |
Gonna rock 'til I drop |
Gonna rock 'til I drop |
Listenin' to his heroes — paying his dues |
He’s the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues |
Thames Delta Blues |
Picked up the blues from across the pond |
John Lee, Muddy, moving him on |
Lonesome Jaxman was his nom-de-plume |
He’s the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues |
Thames Delta Blues |
Over in London the sound was heard |
Now he’s Mississippi bound to spread the word |
Yeah, he’s spreading the word |
You know he played with his heroes — Lived out his dreams |
Gibson guitar and his faded blue jeans |
Got the faded blue jeans |
Lonesome Jaxman was his nom-de-plume |
He’s the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues — Thames Delta Blues |
Thames Delta Blues |
Thames Delta Blues |
He’s got the Thames Delta Blue |
