I've never been so blue as 
I am now in this old town 
You don't know how homesick 
I am to see the streets of my hometown 
I left in search of greener grass but oh what a fool 
I am There's just no place that 
I have found with greener grass than 
Birmingham 
Birmingham 
Alabam a mighty pretty town the town from 
I am And I'm gonna settle down in 
Birmingham 
It's a town 
I'll soon be seein' then 
I'll feel like a human bein' 
I'm southworth they're gonna pitch my tens in 
Birmingham [ piano - guitar ] 
I'm gonna buy some big red roses for my girl when 
I come home 
There's nothing good enough to bring the little girl who wears my ring 
And I'm goin' there just as soon as 
I can back to my hometown 
And I'll never say goodbye to them that little girl in 
Birmingham 
Birmingham 
Alabam...
