Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again [Live, July 16, 1988[00:00:00]
Oh the ragman draws circles[00:00:19]
Up and down the block[00:00:23]
I'd ask him what the matter was[00:00:26]
But I know that he don't talk[00:00:29]
And the ladies treat me kindly[00:00:32]
And they furnish me with tape[00:00:35]
But deep inside my heart[00:00:39]
I know I can't escape[00:00:42]
Oh Mama[00:00:44]
Can this really be the end [00:00:48]
To be stuck inside of Mobile[00:00:51]
With the Memphis blues again[00:00:54]
Well Shakespeare he's in the alley[00:01:03]
With his pointed shoes and his bells[00:01:06]
Speaking to some French girl[00:01:10]
Who says she knows me well[00:01:12]
And I would send a message[00:01:15]
To find out if she's talked[00:01:19]
But the post office has been stolen[00:01:22]
And the mailbox is locked[00:01:26]
Oh Mama[00:01:28]
Can this really be the end [00:01:31]
To be stuck inside of Mobile[00:01:34]
With the Memphis blues again[00:01:38]
Mona tried to tell me[00:01:46]
To stay away from the train line[00:01:49]
She said that all the railroad men[00:01:53]
Just drink up your blood like wine[00:01:56]
And I said "Oh I didn't know that[00:01:59]
But then again there's only one I've met[00:02:02]
And he just smoked my eyelids[00:02:06]
And punched my cigarette"[00:02:08]
Oh Mama[00:02:11]
Can this really be the end [00:02:15]
To be stuck inside of Mobile[00:02:18]
With the Memphis blues again[00:02:21]
Grandpa died last week[00:02:30]
And now he's buried in the rocks[00:02:32]
But everybody still talks about[00:02:36]
How badly they were shocked[00:02:39]
But me I expected it to happen[00:02:42]
I knew he'd lost control[00:02:45]
When I speed built a fire on Main Street[00:02:49]
And shot it full of holes[00:02:52]
Oh Mama[00:02:55]
Can this really be the end [00:02:58]
To be stuck inside of Mobile[00:03:01]
With the Memphis blues again[00:03:05]
Now the senator came down here[00:03:56]
Showing everyone his gun[00:03:59]
Handing out free tickets[00:04:03]
To the wedding of his son[00:04:06]
And me I nearly got busted[00:04:09]
And wouldn't it be my luck[00:04:12]
To get caught without a ticket[00:04:15]
And be discovered beneath a truck [00:04:18]
Oh Mama[00:04:22]
Is this really the end [00:04:25]
To be stuck inside of Mobile[00:04:28]
With the Memphis blues again[00:04:31]
Now the T-Preacher looked so baffled[00:04:40]
When I asked him why he dressed[00:04:43]
With twenty pounds of headlines[00:04:46]
Stapled to his chest[00:04:50]
But he cursed me when I proved to him[00:04:53]
Then I whispered and said "Not even you can hide[00:04:56]
You see you're just like me[00:04:59]
I hope you're satisfied"[00:05:02]
Oh Mama[00:05:05]
Can this really be the end [00:05:09]
To be stuck inside of Mobile[00:05:12]
With the Memphis blues again[00:05:15]
Now the rainman gave me two cures[00:05:23]
Then he said "Jump right in"[00:05:27]
The one was Texas medicine[00:05:30]
The other was just railroad gin[00:05:34]
And like a fool I mixed them[00:05:37]
And it strangled up my mind[00:05:40]
And now people just get uglier[00:05:43]
And I have no sense of time[00:05:46]
Oh Mama[00:05:49]
Can this really be the end [00:05:53]
To be stuck inside of Mobile[00:05:55]
With the Memphis blues again[00:05:59]
When Ruthie says come see her[00:06:07]
In her honky-tonk lagoon[00:06:10]
Where I can watch her waltz for free[00:06:12]
Neath her Panamanian moon[00:06:18]
And I say "Aw come on now[00:06:20]
You know you know about my debutante"[00:06:23]
And she says "Your debutante just knows what you need[00:06:26]
But I know what you want"[00:06:29]
Oh Mama[00:06:32]
Can this really be the end [00:06:36]
To be stuck inside of Mobile[00:06:39]
With the Memphis blues again[00:06:42]
Now the bricks lay on Grand Street[00:06:50]
Where the neon madmen climb[00:06:54]
They all fall there so perfectly[00:06:57]
It all seems so well timed[00:07:00]
And here I sit so patiently[00:07:04]
Waiting to find out what price[00:07:07]
You have to pay to get out of[00:07:10]
Going through all these things twice[00:07:13]
Oh Mama[00:07:16]
Is this really the end [00:07:19]
To be stuck inside of Mobile[00:07:22]
With the Memphis blues again[00:07:27]
Oh Mama[00:07:30]
Is this really the end [00:07:34]
To be stuck inside of Mobile[00:07:37]
With the Memphis blues again[00:07:40]
