1
Oh, the ragman draws circles
2
Up and down the block
3
I'd ask him what the matter was
4
But I know that he don't talk
5
And the ladies treat me kindly
6
And furnish me with tape
7
But deep inside my heart
8
I know I can't escape
9
Oh, Mama
10
Can this really be the end
11
To be stuck inside of Mobile
12
With the Memphis blues again
13
Well, Shakespeare
14
He's in the alley
15
With his pointed shoes
16
And his bells
17
Speaking to some french girl
18
Who says she knows me well
19
And I would send a message
20
To find out if she's talked
21
But the post office
22
Has been stolen
23
And the mailbox is locked
24
Oh, Mama
25
Can this really be the end
26
To be stuck inside of Mobile
27
With the Memphis blues again
28
Mona tried to tell me
29
To stay away
30
From the train line
31
She said that all
32
The railroad men
33
Just drink up
34
Your blood like wine
35
An' I said
36
"Oh, I didn't know that
37
But then again
38
There's only one I've met
39
An' he just smoked my eyelids
40
An' punched my cigarette
41
Oh, Mama
42
Can this really be the end
43
To be stuck inside of Mobile
44
With the Memphis blues again
45
Grandpa died last week
46
And now he's buried
47
In the rocks
48
But everybody
49
Still talks about
50
How badly
51
They were shocked
52
But me
53
I expected it to happen
54
I knew he'd lost control
55
When he built a fire
56
On Main Street
57
And shot it full of holes
58
Oh, Mama
59
Can this really be the end
60
To be stuck inside of Mobile
61
With the Memphis blues again
62
Now the senator came down here
63
Showing ev'ryone his gun
64
Handing out free tickets
65
To the wedding of his son
66
An' me, I nearly got busted
67
An' wouldn't it be my luck
68
To get caught without a ticket
69
And be discovered
70
Beneath a truck
71
Oh, Mama
72
Can this really be the end
73
To be stuck inside of Mobile
74
With the Memphis blues again
75
Now the preacher
76
Looked so baffled
77
When I asked him
78
Why he dressed
79
With twenty pounds
80
Of headlines
81
Stapled to his chest
82
But he cursed me
83
When I proved it to him
84
Then I whispered
85
"Not even you can hide
86
You see, you're just like me
87
I hope you're satisfied"
88
Oh, Mama
89
Can this really be the end
90
To be stuck inside of Mobile
91
With the Memphis blues again
92
Now the rainman
93
Gave me two cures
94
Then he said
95
"Jump right in"
96
The one was Texas medicine
97
The other was just railroad gin
98
An' like a fool I mixed them
99
An' it strangled up my mind
100
An' now people just get uglier
101
An' I have no sense of time
102
Oh, Mama
103
Can this really be the end
104
To be stuck inside of Mobile
105
With the Memphis blues again
106
When Ruthie says come see her
107
In her honky-tonk lagoon
108
Where I can watch her
109
Waltz for free
110
'Neath her Panamanian moon
111
An' I say
112
"Aw come on now
113
You must know about
114
My debutante"
115
An' she says
116
"Your debutante just knows
117
What you need
118
But I know what you want"
119
Oh, Mama
120
Can this really be the end
121
To be stuck inside of Mobile
122
With the Memphis blues again
123
Now the bricks lay
124
In Grand Street
125
Where the neon madmen climb
126
They all fall there
127
So perfectly
128
It all seems so well timed
129
An' here I sit so patiently
130
Waiting to find out what price
131
You have to pay
132
To get out of going through all
133
These things twice
134
Oh, Mama
135
Can this really be the end
136
To be stuck inside of Mobile
137
With the Memphis blues again
