Well the ragman draws circles [00:00:13]
Up and down the block [00:00:16]
I'd asked him What's the matter [00:00:20]
But I know he don't talk [00:00:23]
And the ladies treat me kindly [00:00:26]
And they had furnish me with tape [00:00:29]
But deep inside my heart I know [00:00:33]
I know I can't escape [00:00:36]
Oh Mama can this really be the end [00:00:39]
To be stuck inside a Mobile [00:00:45]
With the Memphis blues again [00:00:49]
Shakespeare he's in the alley [00:00:57]
With his pointed shoes and bells [00:01:00]
Speaking with some French girl [00:01:04]
Who says she knows me well [00:01:07]
And me I would send a message [00:01:11]
To find out if she's talked [00:01:13]
But the post office has been stolen [00:01:17]
Mailbox is locked [00:01:20]
Oh Mama can this really be the end [00:01:23]
To be stuck inside a Mobile [00:01:29]
With the Memphis blues again [00:01:33]
Now Mona she tried to warn me [00:01:41]
Stay away from the railroad line [00:01:44]
She says all the railroad men [00:01:47]
Just drink up your blood like wine [00:01:51]
An' I said Oh I didn't know that [00:01:54]
But then again there's only one I've met [00:01:57]
He just smoked my eyelids [00:02:01]
An' he punched my cigarette [00:02:03]
Oh Mama can this really be the end [00:02:07]
To be stuck inside a Mobile [00:02:13]
With the Memphis blues again [00:02:16]
My grandpa died last week [00:02:25]
And they buried him in the rocks [00:02:28]
Everyone still talks about [00:02:31]
How badly they are shocked [00:02:34]
But me I expected it to happen [00:02:38]
I knew he'd lost control [00:02:40]
When he built a fire on Main Street [00:02:44]
And he shot it full of holes [00:02:47]
Oh Mama can this really be the end [00:02:50]
To be stuck inside a Mobile [00:02:56]
With the Memphis blues again [00:03:00]
Now the senator he came down here [00:03:52]
Showing everyone his gun [00:03:54]
Handing out free tickets [00:03:58]
To the wedding of his son [00:04:01]
An' me I nearly got busted [00:04:05]
An' wouldn't it be my luck [00:04:07]
To get caught without a ticket [00:04:10]
Be discovered beneath a truck [00:04:14]
Oh Mama can this really be the end [00:04:17]
To be stuck inside a Mobile [00:04:23]
With the Memphis blues again [00:04:26]
Now the preacher looked so baffled [00:04:34]
When I asked him why he had dressed [00:04:38]
With twenty pounds of headlines [00:04:41]
Stapled to his chest [00:04:44]
Then he cursed me when I proved it to him [00:04:47]
Then I said you see not even you can hide [00:04:50]
You see you're just like me [00:04:53]
And I hope you're satisfied [00:04:56]
Oh Mama can this really be the end [00:05:00]
To be stuck inside a Mobile [00:05:06]
With the Memphis blues again [00:05:09]
Now the rainman gave me two cures [00:05:17]
And he said Jump right in [00:05:20]
The first was Texas medicine [00:05:24]
The second was just railroad gin [00:05:27]
An' like a fool I mixed them [00:05:30]
And it strangled up my mind [00:05:33]
Now people just get uglier [00:05:37]
An' I have got no sense of time [00:05:40]
Oh Mama can this really be the end [00:05:43]
To be stuck inside a Mobile [00:05:49]
With the Memphis blues again [00:05:52]
When Ruthie says come see her [00:06:43]
In her honky-tonk lagoon [00:06:46]
Where I can watch her waltz for free [00:06:50]
Neath her Panamanian moon [00:06:53]
An' I said Aw come on now [00:06:56]
You know you know about my debutante [00:06:59]
She says You take your time knows what you need [00:07:02]
But I know what you want [00:07:06]
Oh Mama can this really be the end [00:07:08]
To be stuck inside a Mobile [00:07:14]
With the Memphis blues again [00:07:17]
Now the bricks they lay on Grand Street [00:07:25]
Where the neon madmen climb [00:07:29]
They all fall there so perfectly [00:07:32]
All seems so well timed [00:07:35]
An' here I sit so patiently [00:07:38]
Waiting to find out what price [00:07:42]
You have to pay to get out of [00:07:45]
Going through all of these things twice [00:07:47]
Oh oh Mama can this really be the end [00:07:51]
To be stuck inside a Mobile [00:07:57]
With the Memphis blues again [00:08:00]
Oh Mama can this really be the end [00:08:04]
To be stuck inside a Mobile [00:08:11]
With the Memphis blues again [00:08:14]
