London Homesick Blues
Written by Gary P. Nunn
Performed by Jerry Jeff Walker
[G]Well when youâ??re down on your luck you ainâ??t got a buck
in [D]London youâ??re a goner now even London bridge is falling down
you [G]move to Arizona and I know [C]what
[C]and Iâ??ll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor is
[G]drier than the Texas sand
you can [Em]put up your dukes you can [Cm]bet your boots
but Iâ??[D]m leavinâ?? just as fast as I can now
Chorus:
[D]I wanna go [C]home with the [Em]arma[Am]dillaâ??
good country [C]music from Ama[D]rilla and Abi[G]lene
the friendliest [C]people and the prettiest [D]women youâ??ve eve[G]r seen
Verse 2:
[G]Well itâ??s cold over here and I swear [D]I wish theyâ??d turn the heat on
[D]and where in the world is that English girl I [G]promised I would meet on the 3rd [C]floor
[C]and of the whole damn lot the only friend I got is a [G]smoke and a cheap guitar
My [Em]heart keeps roaminâ?? m[Cm]y heart keeps longing to b[D]e home in a Texas bar
Chorus
Verse 3
[G]Well I decided that Iâ??d get my cowboy hat an[D]d go down to the marble arch station
[D]cause when a Texan fancies heâ??ll take his chances
[G]chances will be takinâ?? thatâ??s [C]for sure
[C]and them limey eyes they were eyeinâ?? the prize som[G]e people call manly foot wear
and they said [Em]youâ??re from down south and whe[Cm]n you open your mouth
you [D]always seem to put your foot there
Chorus
(Repeated several times)
