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 |
