London Homesick Blues

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,

and you can bet your boots,

that 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 and 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 roamin', my heart keeps longin'

to be home in a 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 Texan fancies

he'll take his chances,

chances will be taken - that's for sure.

And them Limey eyes, they were eyein' the prize

that some people call manly footwear.

They said you're from down South,

and when you open your mouth,

you always seem to put your 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.
