Birmingham Blues |
| Working on the road across this great big world |
| I’ve been rolling like a stone, I never get back home |
| Yes, I’ve been long-gone |
| And boy, I’ve got the Birmingham Blues. |
| Been across the ocean to the south sea isles |
| Yeah, I travelled to the east and west for mile and miles and miles |
| And I’ve been long-gone |
| And boy, I’ve got the Birmingham Blues. |
| CHORUS: |
| Across the world I’ve seen |
| People and places |
| Could be the same |
| But with a different name. |
| I wouldn’t change the things I do for anything |
| But I’d just like to hear the message of the streets again |
| Give me a ticket |
| Cause boy, I’ve got the Birmingham Blues. |
| It may be kind of homely but it sure is sweet |
| Industrial Revolution put it on its feet |
| But it’s a long, long way |
| Boy, I’ve got the Birmingham Blues. |
| REPEAT CHORUS |
| I’ll go and stay awhile and all the folks I meet |
| They’ll say «You won’t stay long, you got them travelling feet |
| You’ll soon be long-gone |
| 'Cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues!» |
| REPEAT CHORUS |
| REPEAT CHORUS |
