Birmingham Blues Lyrics

Birmingham Blues lyrics

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
