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
