London Homesick Blues
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 the Texas sand And you can put up your dukes Or you can bet your boots But I'm leaving 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've 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? SongtexteAnd of the whole damn lot The only friend I've got Is the smoke and a cheap guitar And my mind keeps roamin' My heart keeps longing To be home in Texas bar I wanna go home with the armadillo Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen Well I decided that I'd get my cowboy hat And go down to Marble Arch Station 'Cause when a Texas fancies He'll take his chances Chances will be taken, that's for sure And them Limey eyes They were eyin' the prize Some people call manly footwear And they say "You're from down south "When you open your mouth "You always seem to put your foot there" I wanna go home with the armadillo Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen I wanna go home with the armadillo Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen Aus Songtexte Mania
