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
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
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
'Cos 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've got the
Birmingham Blues
Across the
world I've seen
people and places
Could be the same
but with
a different name
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"
Across the
world I've seen
people and places
'Cos you know we
could be the same
but with
a different name
Ooh ooh ooh
people and places
ooh ooh ooh
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Across the
world I've seen
people and places
Could be the same
Don't you know it's got
a different name?
Ooh ooh ooh
