London Homesick Blues
Written by Gary P. Nunn
Performed by Jerry Jeff Walker
G
Well when you?re down on your luck you ain?t got a buck
D
in London you?re a goner now even London bridge is falling down
G C
you move to Arizona and I know what
C
and I?ll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor is
G
drier than the Texas sand
Em Cm
you can put up your dukes you can bet your boots
D
but I?m leavin? just as fast as I can now
Chorus:
D C Em Am
I wanna 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
Verse 2:
G D
Well it?s cold over here and I swear I wish they?d turn the heat on
D G C
and where in the world is that English girl I promised I would meet on the 3rd floor
C G
and of the whole damn lot the only friend I got is a smoke and a cheap guitar
Em Cm D
My heart keeps roamin? my heart keeps longing to be home in a Texas bar
Chorus
Verse 3
G D
Well I decided that I?d get my cowboy hat and go down to the marble arch station
D
cause when a Texan fancies he?ll take his chances
G C
chances will be takin? that?s for sure
C G
and them limey eyes they were eyein? the prize some people call manly foot wear
Em Cm
and they said you?re from down south and when you open your mouth
D
you always seem to put your foot there
Chorus
(Repeated several times)
