Lyrics

[00:09.36] Oh, the ragman draws circles
[00:11.26] Up and down the block
[00:15.11] I’d ask him what the matter was
[00:18.25] But I know that he don’t talk
[00:21.71] And the ladies treat me kindly
[00:25.28] And furnish me with tape
[00:28.85] But deep inside my heart
[00:32.40] I know I can’t escape
[00:36.40] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
[00:43.02] To be stuck inside of Mobile
[00:46.64] With the Memphis blues again
[00:49.75]
[00:52.40] Well, Shakespeare, he’s in the alley
[00:56.04] With his pointed shoes and his bells
[00:59.30] Speaking to some French girl
[01:03.16] Who says she knows me well
[01:06.72] And I would send a message
[01:10.06] To find out if she’s talked
[01:13.67] But the post office has been stolen
[01:16.97] And the mailbox is locked
[01:22.77] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
[01:26.97] To be stuck inside of Mobile
[01:30.80] With the Memphis blues again
[01:34.76]
[01:37.81] Mona tried to tell me
[01:40.49] To stay away from the train line
[01:44.08] She said that all the railroad men
[01:47.59] Just drink up your blood like wine
[01:51.00] An’ I said, “Oh, I didn’t know that
[01:54.27] But then again, there’s only one I’ve met
[01:57.95] An’ he just smoked my eyelids
[02:01.50] An’ punched my cigarette”
[02:07.89] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
[02:11.78] To be stuck inside of Mobile
[02:15.17] With the Memphis blues again
[02:19.13]
[02:21.54] Grandpa died last week
[02:25.20] And now he’s buried in the rocks
[02:27.95] But everybody still talks about
[02:31.63] How badly they were shocked
[02:35.88] But me, I expected it to happen
[02:38.65] I knew he’d lost control
[02:42.21] When he built a fire on Main Street
[02:46.48] And shot it full of holes
[02:48.78] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
[02:55.93] To be stuck inside of Mobile
[03:00.60] With the Memphis blues again
[03:03.59]
[03:05.75] Now the senator came down here
[03:09.46] Showing ev’ryone his gun
[03:12.56] Handing out free tickets
[03:16.44] To the wedding of his son
[03:20.00] An’ me, I nearly got busted
[03:23.56] An’ wouldn’t it be my luck
[03:29.01] To get caught without a ticket
[03:30.13] And be discovered beneath a truck
[03:35.78] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
[03:40.44] To be stuck inside of Mobile
[03:43.96] With the Memphis blues again
[03:47.18]
[03:50.72] Now the preacher looked so baffled
[03:53.77] When I asked him why he dressed
[03:56.62] With twenty pounds of headlines
[04:00.64] Stapled to his chest
[04:03.84] But he cursed me when I proved it to him
[04:07.44] Then I whispered, “Not even you can hide
[04:11.12] You see, you’re just like me
[04:14.29] I hope you’re satisfied”
[04:18.26] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
[04:24.68] To be stuck inside of Mobile
[04:28.34] With the Memphis blues again
[04:31.43]
[04:34.89] Now the rainman gave me two cures
[04:37.68] Then he said, “Jump right in”
[04:41.76] The one was Texas medicine
[04:45.13] The other was just railroad gin
[04:48.86] An’ like a fool I mixed them
[04:51.84] An’ it strangled up my mind
[04:55.39] An’ now people just get uglier
[04:59.59] An’ I have no sense of time
[05:03.68] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
[05:09.52] To be stuck inside of Mobile
[05:11.98] With the Memphis blues again
[05:16.17]
[05:19.04] When Ruthie says come see her
[05:22.12] In her honky-tonk lagoon
[05:28.11] Where I can watch her waltz for free
[05:29.18] ’Neath her Panamanian moon
[05:32.07] An’ I say, “Aw come on now
[05:36.54] You must know about my debutante”
[05:40.15] An’ she says, “Your debutante just knows what you need
[05:43.26] But I know what you want”
[05:48.40] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
[05:57.61] To be stuck inside of Mobile
[05:58.82] With the Memphis blues again
[06:00.40]
[06:03.18] Now the bricks lay on Grand Street
[06:06.31] Where the neon madmen climb
[06:14.70] They all fall there so perfectly
[06:15.11] It all seems so well timed
[06:17.27] An’ here I sit so patiently
[06:20.31] Waiting to find out what price
[06:24.12] You have to pay to get out of
[06:27.48] Going through all these things twice
[06:31.13] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
[06:37.46] To be stuck inside of Mobile
[06:41.16] With the Memphis blues again
