London Homesick Blues

By Jerry Jeff Walker

1st verse

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 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 arma dillo

Good country music from Ama rillo and Abi lene

The friendliest people and the prettiest women you＇ve ever

Seen.

2nd Verse

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＇ve got

Is a smoke and a cheap guitar.

My mind keeps roamin＇, my heart keeps longin＇

To be home in a texas bar.

Chorus

3rd Verse

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.

Chances will be taken, that＇s for sure.

And them Limey eyes, they were eyein＇ the 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.

Repeat chorus ＇til the cows come home.
