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

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

Across the world I've seen

People and places

Could be the same

But with a different name

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

'Cause boy, you got the rest of the world

Blues!

Across the world I've seen

People and places

Could be the same

But with a different name

Across the world I've seen

People and places

Could be the same

But with a different name
