Birmingham Blues Songtext

von Electric Light Orchestra

BIRMINGHAM BLUES

Workin' on the road across
This great big world,
I've been rollin' 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 he east and west
For miles 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,
'Cos boy I got the Birmingham Blues.

Repeat Chorus

I'll go and stay a while
And all the folks I meet
They'll say "you won't stay long
You got them travelin' feet,
You'll soon be long-gone.
'Cos boy you got
The rest of the world blues."
