john lee hooker - birmingham blues lyrics

Loading...

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.

[chorus:]
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.

[chorus]

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]
