Thames Delta Blues

Lyrics

With his tonsils and sneakers, guitar in hand
 Hundred watt speakers and his traveling band
 He's got his traveling band
 Well from Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans too
 Lonesome Jaxman was his nom-de-plume
 That was his nom-de-plume
 Listenin' to his heroes - paying his dues
 He's the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues
 Thames Delta Blues
 Like all his heroes he was something to see
 Lit up the stage like a Christmas tree
 Just like a Christmas tree - woo
 Didn't care for business he rose to the top
 Said "I'll roll till I'm old
 Gonna rock till I drop
 Gonna rock till I drop
 Listenin' to his heroes - paying his dues
 He's the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues
 Thames Delta Blues
 Picked up the blues from across the pond
 John Lee, Muddy, moving him on
 Lonesome Jaxman was his nom-de-plume
 He's the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues
 Thames Delta Blues
 {instrumental}
 Over in London the sound was heard
 Now he's Mississippi bound to spread the word
 Yeah he's spreading the word
 You know he played with his heroes - Lived out his dreams
 Gibson guitar and his faded blue jeans
 Got the faded blue jeans
 Lonesome Jaxman was his nom-de-plume
 He's the boy from Brixton with the
 Thames Delta Blues - Thames Delta Blues
 Thames Delta Blues
 Thames Delta Blues
 He's got the Thames Delta Blues.
 ...He was somthing to see.
