Birmingham Blues (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão


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 travelled to the east and west for mile 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.

Repeat chorus

I’ll go and stay awhile and all the folks i meet
They’ll say "you won’t stay long, you got them travelling feet
You’ll soon be long-gone
‘cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues!"

Repeat chorus

Repeat chorus

It’s a small town they call Besmer
Way down in Alabam
It’s a small town they call Besmer
Way down in Alabam
It ain’t no great big city
Only twelve miles from Birmingham

Me and my dirty buddy
Me and my Buddy, Sam
Me and my dirty buddy, Sam
We used to live in Besmer
But he moved to Birmingham

‘Play it, Play it’, ‘My-my’

(piano, washbrd & guitar)

I’m quiet an I’m easy
Baby, don’t think that I’m no lamb
I’m quiet an I’m easy
Baby, don’t think that I’m no lamb
If you want something good, baby
Try somethin’ from Birmingham.

(harmonica & instrumental to end)
