(It’s a Long Way to) Londontown

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, it's a long, long way to London It's a long way to London town When you've got no way of goin' But pickin' em up and puttin' em down There's a got cold, cold rain a fallin' I hope to God that I don't drown But I've got a sweet baby waitin' And it's a long way to London town [Verse 2] One day I packed up my belongings Said I could make myself a name I knew that somewhere away out yonder There was awaitin' me fortune and fame But now my rainbow's end has vanished My pot of gold's gone up in smoke And I'm just tryin' to get back to baby And Lord, I hope my baby'll love me broke [Verse 3] I nearly froze to death in Russia Burned up in Timbuktu I got drunk down in Australia And nearly married me a kangaroo But now my big dreams all have failed My big plans gone with the wind And if I ever get back to London town I'm never gonna leave again [Outro] It's a long, long way to London I's a long way to London town When you've got no way of goin' But pickin' em up and puttin' em down
