Working on the road across this great big world 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 I been across the ocean to the South Sea isles Yeah, I traveled to the east and west for miles and miles and miles And I've been long-gone 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 traveling feet You'll soon be long-gone 'Cause boy, you got the rest of the world blues!" Across the world I've seen People and places Don't you know it 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
