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 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 And, boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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" [Chorus: x2]
