london homesick blues

gotta put myself back in that place again

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

or you can bet your boots

that i'm leavin' just as fast as i can

i wanna go home with the armadillo

good country music from amarillo

and abilene

the friendliest people and the prettiest women you 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 wanna go home with the armadillo

good country music from amarillo

and abilene

the friendliest people and the prettiest women you 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

and they said you're from down south
