Electric Light Orchestra - Birmingham Blues lyrics

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. Repeat 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!" Repeat chorus Repeat chorus
