Lyrics
Working on the road across this great big world I've been rolling like a stone, I never get back home Yes, I've been long-gone And boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues. Been across the ocean to the south sea isles Yeah, I travelled to the east and west for mile and miles and miles And I've been long-gone And boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues. Across the world I've seen People and places Could be the same But with a different name. I wouldn't change the things I 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 Boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues. I'll go and stay awhile and all the folks I meet They'll say "You won't stay long, you got them travelling feet You'll soon be long-gone 'Cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues!" [Chorus 2x]
