Electric Light Orchestra 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
