London Homesick Blues
written by Gary P. Nunn
performed by David Allan Coe
from the album Invictus (Means) Unconquered

G
Well when you`re down on your luck and you ain`t got a buck
D
In London, you`re a goner.

Even London Bridge has fallen down
G C
And moved to Arizona, now I know why

And I`ll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor
G
Is drier than the Texas sand
Em Eb(single note)
You can put up your dukes, or you can bet your boots
D
But I`m leavin` as fast as I can.
C B/C Am
(chorus) I want to go home with the Armadilla`
C D G
Good country music from Amarilla` and Abilene
C D G
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you`ve ever seen.


Well, it`s cold over here, Lord, 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 rollin` and my heart keeps yearnin`
To be home in a Texas bar.
(repeat chorus)

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
Some people call manly footwear
And they said You`re from down South
And when you open your mouth
You always seem to put your foot there.
(repeat chorus)
