Oh, the Ragman draws circles up and down the block[00:04:00]
I'd ask him what the matter was but I know that he don't talk[00:04:00]
And the ladies treat me kindly and furnish me with tape[00:04:00]
But deep inside my heart, Lord, I know I can't escape[00:04:00]
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end[00:04:00]
To be stuck inside of Mobile[00:04:00]
With the Memphis blues again?[00:04:00]
Shakespeare, he's in the alley with his pointed shoes and his bells[00:04:00]
Speaking to some French girl who says she knows me well[00:04:00]
And I would send a message to find out if she's talked[00:04:00]
But the post office has been stolen and the mailbox is locked[00:04:00]
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end[00:04:00]
To be stuck inside of Mobile[00:04:00]
With the Memphis blues again?[00:04:00]
Mona tried to tell me, stay away from the train line[00:04:00]
She said that all the railroad men drink up your blood like wine[00:04:00]
And I said, "Oh I didn't know that but then again there's only one I've met[00:04:00]
And he just smoked my eyelids and punched my cigarette"[00:04:00]
Ooh, Mama, can this really be the end[00:04:00]
To be stuck inside of Mobile[00:04:00]
With the Memphis blues again?[00:04:00]
Grandpa died last week, now he's buried in the rocks[00:04:00]
Everyone still talks about how badly they were shocked[00:04:00]
But me, I expected it to happen, when I seen him lose control[00:04:00]
He built a fire on Main Street and shot it full of holes[00:04:00]
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end[00:04:00]
To be stuck inside of Mobile[00:04:00]
With the Memphis blues again?[00:04:00]
Well now Ruthie said, "Come see her in her honky-tonk lagoon[00:04:00]
Where I could watch her waltz for free 'neath her Panamanian moon"[00:04:00]
And I said, "Aw come on now, you know you know about my debutante"[00:04:00]
She said, "Your debutante just knows what you need[00:04:00]
But I know what you want"[00:04:00]
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end[00:04:00]
To be stuck inside of Mobile[00:04:00]
With the Memphis blues again?[00:04:00]
Now the bricks, they fall on Grand Street where the neon madmen climb[00:04:00]
They'd all fall there so perfectly it all seems so well timed[00:04:00]
And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price[00:04:00]
You have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice[00:04:00]
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end[00:04:00]
To be stuck inside of Mobile[00:04:00]
With the Memphis blues again?[00:04:00]
