Birmingham Blues-John Lee Hooker

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

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

Across the world I've seen

People and places

Could be the same

But with a different name

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

Across the world I've seen

People and places

Could be the same

But with a different name

Across the world I've seen

People and places

Could be the same

But with a different name
