London Homesick Blues
By: Jerry Jeff Walker
[Verse 1]
GWell when you're down on your luck you ain't got a buck
In DLondon you're a goner now even London bridge is falling down
And Gmoved to Arizona, now I know Cwhy
CAnd I'll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor is
GDrier than the Texas sand
You can Emput up your dukes you can Ebbet your boots
But I'm Dleavin' just as fast as I can now
[Chorus]
DI wanna go Chome with the C/BarmadilAmlo
Good country Cmusic from AmaDrillo and AbiGlene
The friendliest Cpeople and the prettiest Dwomen you've ever Gseen
[Verse 2]
GWell it's cold over here and I swear I Dwish they'd turn the heat on
And wAmhere in the world is that EnDglish girl I pGromised I would meet, on the 3rd flCoor
CAnd of the whole damn lot the only friend I got is a Gsmoke and a cheap guitar
My Emheart keeps roamin' my Ebheart keeps longing to be Dhome in a Texas bar
[Chorus]
DI wanna go Chome with the C/BarmadAmillo
Good country Cmusic from AmaDrillo and AbiGlene
The friendliest Cpeople and the prettiest Dwomen you've ever GseenG

Well I deGcided that  DI'd get my Gcowboy hat and Dgo down to the Marble Arch Station
Cause when a DTexan fancies he'll take his chances
GChances will be takin' that's for Csure
And them limey eyes they were eyein' the prize some Gpeople call manly foot wear
And they said Emyou're from down south and when you opEben your mouth
You Dalways seem to put your foot there
