Birmingham Blues

Workin' on the road across this great, big world
 Yeah, I've been rollin' like a stone and 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

 Oh, I wouldn't change the things that 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

 I go and stay a while and all the folks I meet
 They 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"
