London Homesick Blues<br>

<br>

When you’re down on your luck<br>

And you ain’t got a buck<br>

In London, you’re a goner<br>

Even London Bridge<br>

Has fallen down<br>

And moved to Arizona<br>

Now I know why<br>

<br>

We’ll I'll substantiate the rumor<br>

That the English sense of humor<br>

Is drier than the Texas sands.<br>

You can put up your Dukes<br>

And you can bet your boots<br>

I’ll be leavin’ here as fast as I can.<br>

<br>

I wanna go home with the Armadillo<br>

Country music from Amarillo and Abilene<br>

The prettiest women and the friendliest people you ever seen.<br>

<br>

Well, I decided that<br>

I’d take my cowboy hat<br>

And go down to the Marble Arch station<br>

’Cause when a Texan fancies<br>

That he'll take his chances<br>

Chances will be taken,<br>

That’s for sure.<br>

<br>

And those Limey eyes<br>

They were eyeing the prize<br>

Some people call manly footwear<br>

’Cause when you're from down South<br>

When you open your mouth<br>

You always seem to put your foot there.<br>

<br>

I wanna go home with the Armadillo<br>

Country music from Amarillo and Abilene<br>

The friendliest people and the prettiest women you ever seen.<br>

<br>

I wanna go home with the Armadillo<br>

Country music from the Lone Star Café and Abilene<br>

The prettiest women and the friendliest people I’ve ever seen.<br>

<br>

<br>
