Lyrics Thames Delta Blues - Foghat

With his tonsils and sneakers, guitar in hand
Hundred watt speakers and his traveling band
He's got his traveling band

Well from Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans too
Lonesome Jaxman was his nom-de-plume
That was his nom-de-plume

Listenin' to his heroes - paying his dues
He's the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues
Thames Delta Blues

Like all his heroes he was something to see
Lit up the stage like a Christmas tree
Just like a Christmas tree - woo

Didn't care for business he rose to the top
Said "I'll roll till I'm old
Gonna rock till I drop
Gonna rock till I drop

Listenin' to his heroes - paying his dues
He's the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues
Thames Delta Blues

Picked up the blues from across the pond
John Lee, Muddy, moving him on

Lonesome Jaxman was his nom-de-plume
He's the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues
Thames Delta Blues

{Instrumental}

Over in London the sound was heard
Now he's Mississippi bound to spread the word
Yeah he's spreading the word

You know he played with his heroes - Lived out his dreams
Gibson guitar and his faded blue jeans
Got the faded blue jeans

Lonesome Jaxman was his nom-de-plume
He's the boy from Brixton with the
Thames Delta Blues - Thames Delta Blues
Thames Delta Blues
Thames Delta Blues
He's got the Thames Delta Blues.
...He was somthing to see.
