London Homesick Blues Lyrics - David Allan Coe

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 

You can put up your dukes or you can bet your boots but I'm leavin' as fast as I can 

I want to 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 Lord 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 

And of the whole damn lot the only friend I got is a smoke and a cheal guitar 

My mind keeps rollin' and my heart keeps yearnin' to be home in Texas bar 

I want to go home with the armadillo... 

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 said you're from down south and when you open your mouth 

Son you always seem to put yout foor there 

I want to go home with Armadilla... 

I want to go home with Armadilla...
