London Homesick Blues Lyrics

[00:06.17] 1st verse
[00:08.06] Well, when you're down on your luck,
[00:16.04] And you ain't got a buck,
[00:19.06] In London you're a goner.
[00:23.41] Even London Bridge has fallen down,
[00:29.06] And moved to Arizona,
[00:36.19] Now I know why.
[00:39.96] And I'll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor
[00:45.95] Is drier than than the Texas sand.
[00:51.23] You can put up your dukes, and you can bet your boots
[00:58.44] That I'm leavin' just as fast as I can.
[01:03.30] Chorus
[01:04.58] I wanna go home with the arma [Am] dillo
[01:13.35] Good country music from Ama rillo and Abi lene
[01:19.39] The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever [G]
[01:27.93] Seen.
[01:32.18] 2nd Verse
[01:33.91] Well, it's cold over here, and I swear
[01:43.76] I wish they'd turn the heat on.
[01:48.05] And where in the world is that English girl
[01:55.26] I promised I would meet on the third floor.
[02:05.22] And of the whole damn lot, the only friend I've got
[02:11.05] Is a smoke and a cheap guitar.
[02:17.23] My mind keeps roamin', my heart keeps longin'
[02:22.22] To be home in a Texas bar.
[02:25.94] Chorus
[02:27.11] 3rd Verse
[02:27.90] Well, I decided that I'd get my cowboy hat
[03:25.71] And go down to Marble Art Station.
[03:31.02] 'Cause when a Texan fancies, he'll take his chances.
[03:37.53] Chances will be taken, that's for sure.
[03:41.19] And them Limey eyes, they were eyein' the prize
[03:51.28] That some people call manly footwear.
[03:58.17] And they said you're from down South,
[04:01.55] And when you open your mouth,
[04:03.70] You always seem to put your foot there.
[04:07.63] Repeat chorus 'til the cows come home.
[06:16.04]
