Birmingham Blues

Working on the road across

This great big world

Yeah, I've been rolling like a stone

I never get back home

Yes, I've been long-gone

Boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues

I've been across the ocean

To the south sea isles

Yeah, I travelled to the east and west

For miles and miles and miles

And I've been long-gone

Boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues

Across the world (across the world) I've seen

People and places (people and places)

Could be the same (everywhere I've been)

But with a different name

Oh, 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 it's feet

But it's a long, long way

Boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues

Across the world (across the world) I've seen

People and places (people and places)

Could be the same (everywhere I've been)

But with a different name

I'll go and stay a while

And all the folks I meet

They'll say, "You won't stay long

You got them travellin' feet

You'll soon be long-gone

'Cause boy, you got the rest of the world blues."

Across the world (across the world) I've seen

People and places (people and places)

Everywhere I've been (don't you know it could be the same?)

But with a different name

Repeat
