《Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again (Rehearsal)》歌词

[00:00:05] Oh, the ragman draws circles

[00:01:23] Up and down the block

[00:02:16] I'd ask him what the matter was

[00:02:24] But I know that he don't talk

[00:02:27] And the ladies treat me kindly

[00:02:30] And they furnish me with tape

[00:02:33] But deep inside my heart

[00:02:34] I know I can't escape

[00:02:38] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:02:44] To be stuck inside of Mobile with the

[00:02:46] Memphis blues again

[00:02:55] Well, Shakespeare, he's in the alley

[00:02:57] With his pointed shoes and his bells

[00:03:01] Speaking to some French girl

[00:03:03] Who says she knows me well

[00:03:06] And I would send a message

[00:03:08] To find out if she's talked

[00:03:11] But the post office has been stolen

[00:03:13] And the mailbox is locked

[00:03:17] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:03:21] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:03:24] With the Memphis blues again

[00:03:33] Mona tried to tell me

[00:03:35] To stay away from the train line

[00:03:38] She said that all the railroad men

[00:03:41] Just drink up your blood like wine

[00:03:44] An' I said, "Oh, I didn't know that

[00:03:46] But then again, there's only one I've met

[00:03:49] An' he just smoked my eyelids

[00:03:50] An' punched my cigarette"

[00:03:51] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:03:52] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:03:53] With the Memphis blues again

[00:03:54] Grandpa died last week

[00:03:54] And now he's buried in the rocks

[00:03:55] But everybody still talks about how

[00:03:57] Badly they were shocked

[00:03:57] But me, I expected it to happen

[00:03:58] I knew he'd lost control

[00:03:59] When I speed built a fire on Main Street

[00:04:00] And shot it full of holes

[00:04:00] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:01] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:02] With the Memphis blues again

[00:04:04] Now the senator came down here

[00:04:04] Showing ev'ryone his gun

[00:04:05] Handing out free tickets

[00:04:06] To the wedding of his son

[00:04:06] An' me, I nearly got busted

[00:04:07] An' wouldn't it be my luck

[00:04:08] To get caught without a ticket

[00:04:09] And be discovered beneath a truck

[00:04:09] Oh, Mama, is this really be the end

[00:04:10] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:11] With the Memphis blues again

[00:04:12] Now the tea preacher looked so baffled

[00:04:13] When I asked him why he dressed

[00:04:13] With twenty pounds of headlines

[00:04:14] Stapled to his chest

[00:04:15] But he cursed me when I proved it to him

[00:04:16] Then I whispered and said, "Not even you can hide

[00:04:17] You see, you're just like me

[00:04:17] I hope you're satisfied"

[00:04:18] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:19] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:20] With the Memphis blues again

[00:04:20] Now the rainman gave me two cures

[00:04:21] Then he said, "Jump right in"

[00:04:22] The one was Texas medicine

[00:04:24] The other was just railroad gin

[00:04:25] An' like a fool I mixed them

[00:04:25] An' it strangled up my mind

[00:04:26] An' now people just get uglier

[00:04:27] An' I have no sense of time

[00:04:28] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:29] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:30] With the Memphis blues again

[00:04:31] And when Ruthie says come see her

[00:04:32] In her honky-tonk lagoon

[00:04:32] Where I can watch her waltz for free

[00:04:33] 'neath her Panamanian moon

[00:04:34] An' I say, "Aw come on now

[00:04:34] You know you knew about my debutante"

[00:04:35] An' she says, "Your debutante just knows what you need

[00:04:36] But I know what you want"

[00:04:37] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:38] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:39] With the Memphis blues again

[00:04:41] Now the bricks lay on Grand Street

[00:04:42] Where the neon madmen climb

[00:04:43] They all fall there so perfectly

[00:04:44] It all seems so well timed

[00:04:44] An' here I sit so patiently

[00:04:45] Waiting to find out what price

[00:04:48] You have to pay to get out of

[00:04:48] Going through all these things twice

[00:04:49] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:50] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:51] With the Memphis blues again
