London Homesick Blues — текст песни (Jerry Jeff Walker)

1st verse
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 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.

Chorus
I wanna go home with the arma [Am] dillo
Good country music from Ama rillo and Abi lene
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you`ve ever [G]
seen.

2nd Verse
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`ve got
is a smoke and a cheap guitar.
My mind keeps roamin`, my heart keeps longin`
to be home in a Texas bar.

Chorus

3rd Verse
Well, I decided that I`d get my cowboy hat
and go down to Marble Art 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.
And they said you`re from down South,
and when you open your mouth,
you always seem to put your foot there.

Repeat chorus `til the cows come home.
