London Homesick Blues Chords & Lyrics - David Allan Coe

[VERSE 1]
[G]Well when you're down on your luck and you ain't got a buck
In [D]London, you're a goner.

Even London Bridge has fallen down
And [G]moved to Arizona, now I know [C]why

And I'll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor
Is [G]drier than the Texas sand
You can [Em]put up your dukes, or you can [Gaug/B]bet your boots
But I'm [D]leavin' just as fast as I can.

[CHORUS]
I want to go [C]home with the [B/C]Armadil[Am]la'
Good country [C]music from Amaril[D]la' and Abil[G]ene
The friendliest [C]people and the prettiest [D]women you've ever [G]seen.

[VERSE 2]
Well, it's [G]cold over here, and I swear
I [D]wish they'd turn the heat on

And where in the world is that English girl
I [G]promised I would meet on the third [C]floor

And of the whole damn lot the only friend I got
Is a [G]smoke and a cheap guitar
My [Em]mind keeps rollin' and my [Gaug/B]heart keeps yearnin'
To be h[D]ome in a Texas bar.

[CHORUS]
I want to go [C]home with the [B/C]Armadil[Am]la'
Good country [C]music from Amaril[D]la' and Abil[G]ene
The friendliest [C]people and the prettiest [D]women you've ever [G]seen.

Well I [G]decided that I'd get my cowboy hat
And [D]go down to Marble Arch Station
'Cause when a [D]Texan fancies he'll take his chances
Chance[G]s will be taken, that's for [C]sure

And them Limey eyes, they were eyein' the prize
Some [G]people call manly footwear
And they said "[Em]You're from down South"
And when you [Gaug/B]open your mouth
You a[D]lways seem to put your foot there.

[CHORUS]
I want to go [C]home with the [B/C]Armadil[Am]la'
Good country [C]music from Amaril[D]la' and Abil[G]ene
The friendliest [C]people and the prettiest [D]women you've ever [G]seen.
