Well the ragman draws circles up and down the block [00:00:26]
I'd ask him what's the matter but I know that he don't talk [00:00:33]
And the ladies treat me kindly and they furnish me with tape [00:00:39]
But deep inside my heart I know I can't escape [00:00:46]
Oh mama can this really be the end [00:00:52]
To be stuck inside of mobile with the memphis blues again [00:00:58]
Well Shakespeare he's in the alley [00:01:10]
With his pointed shoes and bell [00:01:13]
Speaking with some French girl who says she knows me well [00:01:17]
And me I'd send a message to find out if she's talked [00:01:23]
But the post office has been stolen [00:01:29]
And the mailbox is locked [00:01:32]
Oh mama can this really be the end [00:01:36]
To be stuck inside of mobile with the memphis blues again [00:01:42]
Mona tried to warn me stay away from the train line [00:02:07]
She said that all the railroad men [00:02:13]
Just drink up your blood like wine [00:02:16]
And I said oh I didn't know that [00:02:20]
But then again there's only one I've met [00:02:22]
He just smoked my eyelids and he punched my cigarette [00:02:26]
Oh mama can this really be the end [00:02:32]
To be stuck inside of mobile with the memphis blues again [00:02:39]
Grandpa died last week and they buried him in the rocks [00:02:51]
Everyone still talks about how badly they are shocked [00:02:57]
But me I expected it to happen I knew he'd lost control [00:03:03]
When he built a fire on Main Street [00:03:10]
And he shot it full of holes [00:03:13]
Oh mama can this really be the end [00:03:16]
To be stuck inside of mobile with the memphis blues again [00:03:22]
Now the senator he came down here [00:04:17]
Showing everyone his gun [00:04:20]
Handing out free tickets to the wedding of his son [00:04:24]
And me I nearly got busted and wouldn't it be my luck [00:04:30]
To get caught without a ticket [00:04:36]
And be discovered beneath a truck [00:04:39]
Oh mama can this really be the end [00:04:42]
To be stuck inside of mobile with the memphis blues again [00:04:49]
Now the preacher looks so baffled [00:05:00]
When I asked him why he dressed [00:05:04]
With twenty pounds of headlines stapled to his chest [00:05:07]
But he cursed me when I proved it to him [00:05:13]
Then I said you see not even you can hide [00:05:16]
You see you're just like me and I hope you're satisfied [00:05:19]
Oh mama can this really be the end [00:05:25]
To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again [00:05:32]
Now the rainman gave me two cures [00:05:44]
Then he said jump right in [00:05:47]
The first was Texas medecine [00:05:50]
The second was just railroad gin [00:05:53]
And like a fool I mixed them up [00:05:56]
And it strangled up my mind [00:05:59]
And now people just get uglier [00:06:03]
And I've got no sense of time [00:06:06]
Oh mama can this really be the end [00:06:09]
To be stuck inside of mobile with the memphis blues again [00:06:15]
When Ruthie says come see me in honkytonk lagoon [00:07:09]
Where I can watch her waltz for free neath her [00:07:16]
Panamanian moon [00:07:19]
And I said oh come on now you know about my debutante [00:07:22]
And she says your debutante knows just what you need but [00:07:28]
I know what you want [00:07:32]
Oh mama can this really be the end [00:07:34]
To be stuck inside of mobile with the memphis blues again [00:07:41]
Now the bricks they lay on Grand Street [00:07:53]
Where the neon madmen climb [00:07:56]
They all fall there so perfectly it all seems so well timed [00:07:59]
And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price [00:08:06]
You have to pay to get out of [00:08:12]
Going through all of these things twice twice [00:08:14]
Oh mama can this really be the end [00:08:18]
To be stuck inside of mobile with the memphis blues again [00:08:24]
Oh mama can this really be the end [00:08:32]
To be stuck inside of mobile with the memphis blues again [00:08:38]
