Jerry Jeff Walker London Homesick Blues Lyrics

London Homesick Blues Lyrics

Well, when you're down on your luck,
and you ain't got a buck,
in London
you're a goner.
Even London Bridge has fallen down,
and moved to
Arizona,
now I know why.
And I'll substantiate the rumor
that the
English sense of humor
is drier than the Texas sand.
You can put up your
dukes,
and you can bet your boots,
that I'm leavin' just as fast as I
can.

Chorus;
I wanna go home with the armadillo.
Good country
music from Amarillo and Abilene.
The friendliest people and the prettiest
women
you've ever seen.

Well it's cold over here, and I swear,
I
wish they'd turn the heat on.
And where in the world is that English
girl,
I promised I would meet on the third floor.
And of the whole damn
lot, the only friend I got,
is a smoke and a cheap guitar.
My mind keeps
roamin', my heart keeps longin'
to be home in a Texas
bar.

Chorus

Well, I decided that, I'd get my cowboy hat
and go
down to Marble Arch Station.
'Cause when a Texan fancies, he'll take his
chances,
and chances will be takin, now that's for sure.
And them Limey
eyes, they were eyein' a prize,
that some people call manly footwear.
And
they said you're from down South,
and when you open your mouth,
you always
seem to put your foot there.

Chorus
