London Homesick Blues lyrics

When you¡¯re down on your luck
And you ain¡¯t got a buck
In London, you¡¯re a goner
And London Bridge
Has fallen down
And moved to Arizona
Now I know why

We¡¯ll now substantiate the rumor
That the English sense of humor
Is drier than the Texas sands.
You can put up your Dukes
Go bet your boots
I¡¯ll be leavin¡¯ here as soon as I can.

I wanna go home with the Armadillo
Country music from Amarillo and Abilene
The prettiest women and the friendliest people you ever seen.

Well, I decided that
I¡¯d take my cowboy hat
And go down to the Marble Arch station
¡¯Cause when a Texan fancies
To take his chances
Chances will be taken,
That¡¯s for sure.

And goes blind me eyes
For eying the prize
Some people call manly footwear
¡¯Cause when your thumb down South
When you open your mouth
You always seem to put your foot there.

I wanna go home with the Armadillo
Country music from Amarillo and Abilene
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you ever seen.

I wanna go home with the Armadillo
Country music from the Lone Star Caf¨¦ and Abilene
The prettiest women and the friendliest people I¡¯ve ever seen.
