London Homesick Blues - Jerry Jeff Walker

Well when you’re down on your luck

And you ain’t got a buck

In London you’re a goner

Even London Bridge has fallen down

And moved to Arizona

Now I know why

And I’ll substantiate the rumor

That the English sense of humor

Is drier than the Texas sand

You can put up your dukes or you can bet your boots

But I’m leavin' just as fast as I can

I want to go home with the armadillo

Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene

The friendliest people and the prettiest women

You’ve ever seen

Well it’s cold over here Lord I swear

I wish they’d turn the heat on

And where in the world is that English girl

I promised I would meet on the third floor

And of the whole damn lot the only friend I got

Is a smoke and a cheap guitar

My mind keeps rollin' and my heart keeps longing

To be home in Texas bar

I want to go home with the armadillo

Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene

The friendliest people and the prettiest women

You’ve ever seen

Well I decided that I’d get my cowboy hat

And go down to Marble Arch Station

Cause when a Texas fancies he’ll take his chances

You know chances will be taken that’s for sure

And them Limey eyes they were eyin' the prize

Some people call manly footwear

And they said you’re from down south

And when you open your mouth

You always seem to put yout foot there

I want to go home with the armadillo

Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene

The friendliest people and the prettiest women

You’ve ever seen

I want to go home with the armadillo

Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene

The friendliest people and the prettiest women

You’ve ever seen
