Thames Delta Blues - Foghat

With his tonsils and sneakers, guitar in hand

Hundred watt speakers and his traveling band

He’s got his traveling band

Well, from Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans too

Lonesome Jaxman was his nom-de-plume

That was his nom-de-plume

Listenin' to his heroes — paying his dues

He’s the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues

Thames Delta Blues

Like all his heroes he was something to see

Lit up the stage like a Christmas tree

Just like a Christmas tree — woo

Didn’t care for business he rose to the top

Said, I’ll roll 'til I’m old

Gonna rock 'til I drop

Gonna rock 'til I drop

Listenin' to his heroes — paying his dues

He’s the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues

Thames Delta Blues

Picked up the blues from across the pond

John Lee, Muddy, moving him on

Lonesome Jaxman was his nom-de-plume

He’s the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues

Thames Delta Blues

Over in London the sound was heard

Now he’s Mississippi bound to spread the word

Yeah, he’s spreading the word

You know he played with his heroes — Lived out his dreams

Gibson guitar and his faded blue jeans

Got the faded blue jeans

Lonesome Jaxman was his nom-de-plume

He’s the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues — Thames Delta Blues

Thames Delta Blues

Thames Delta Blues

He’s got the Thames Delta Blue
