Lyrics:

Working on the road across this great big worldbr /I've been rolling like a stone, I never get back homebr /Yes, I've been long-gonebr /And boy, I've got the birmingham blues.br /br /Been across the ocean to the south sea islesbr /Yeah, I travelled to the east and west for mile and miles and milesbr /And I've been long-gonebr /And boy, I've got the birmingham blues.br /br /Chorus:br /Across the world I've seenbr /People and placesbr /Could be the samebr /But with a different name.br /br /I wouldn't change the things I do for anythingbr /But I'd just like to hear the message of the streets againbr /Give me a ticketbr /Cause boy, I've got the birmingham blues.br /br /It may be kind of homely but it sure is sweetbr /Industrial revolution put it on it's feetbr /But it's a long, long waybr /Boy, I've got the birmingham blues.br /br /Repeat chorusbr /br /I'll go and stay awhile and all the folks I meetbr /They'll say 'you won't stay long, you got them travelling feetbr /You'll soon be long-gonebr /'cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues!'br /br /Repeat chorusbr /br /Repeat chorus
