《Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again (Take 13|Alternate Take)》歌词

[00:04:08] Oh, the ragman draws circles

[00:04:08] Up and down the block

[00:04:08] I'd ask him what the matter was

[00:04:08] But I know that he don't talk

[00:04:08] And the ladies treat me kindly

[00:04:08] And they furnish me with tape

[00:04:08] But deep inside my heart

[00:04:08] I know I can't escape

[00:04:08] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:08] To be stuck inside of Mobile with the

[00:04:08] Memphis blues again

[00:04:08] Well, Shakespeare, he's in the alley

[00:04:08] With his pointed shoes and his bells

[00:04:08] Speaking to some French girl

[00:04:08] Who says she knows me well

[00:04:08] And I would send a message

[00:04:08] To find out if she's talked

[00:04:08] But the post office has been stolen

[00:04:08] And the mailbox is locked

[00:04:08] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:08] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:08] With the Memphis blues again

[00:04:08] Mona tried to tell me

[00:04:08] To stay away from the train line

[00:04:08] She said that all the railroad men

[00:04:08] Just drink up your blood like wine

[00:04:08] An' I said, "Oh, I didn't know that

[00:04:08] But then again, there's only one I've met

[00:04:08] An' he just smoked my eyelids

[00:04:08] An' punched my cigarette"

[00:04:08] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:08] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:08] With the Memphis blues again

[00:04:08] Grandpa died last week

[00:04:08] And now he's buried in the rocks

[00:04:08] But everybody still talks about how

[00:04:08] Badly they were shocked

[00:04:08] But me, I expected it to happen

[00:04:08] I knew he'd lost control

[00:04:08] When I speed built a fire on Main Street

[00:04:08] And shot it full of holes

[00:04:08] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:08] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:08] With the Memphis blues again

[00:04:08] Now the senator came down here

[00:04:08] Showing ev'ryone his gun

[00:04:08] Handing out free tickets

[00:04:08] To the wedding of his son

[00:04:08] An' me, I nearly got busted

[00:04:08] An' wouldn't it be my luck

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

[00:04:08] And be discovered beneath a truck

[00:04:08] Oh, Mama, is this really be the end

[00:04:08] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:08] With the Memphis blues again

[00:04:08] Now the tea preacher looked so baffled

[00:04:08] When I asked him why he dressed

[00:04:08] With twenty pounds of headlines

[00:04:08] Stapled to his chest

[00:04:08] But he cursed me when I proved it to him

[00:04:08] Then I whispered and said, "Not even you can hide

[00:04:08] You see, you're just like me

[00:04:08] I hope you're satisfied"

[00:04:08] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:08] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:08] With the Memphis blues again

[00:04:08] Now the rainman gave me two cures

[00:04:08] Then he said, "Jump right in"

[00:04:08] The one was Texas medicine

[00:04:08] The other was just railroad gin

[00:04:08] An' like a fool I mixed them

[00:04:08] An' it strangled up my mind

[00:04:08] An' now people just get uglier

[00:04:08] An' I have no sense of time

[00:04:08] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:08] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:08] With the Memphis blues again

[00:04:08] And when Ruthie says come see her

[00:04:08] In her honky-tonk lagoon

[00:04:08] Where I can watch her waltz for free

[00:04:08] 'neath her Panamanian moon

[00:04:08] An' I say, "Aw come on now

[00:04:08] You know you knew about my debutante"

[00:04:08] An' she says, "Your debutante just knows what you need

[00:04:08] But I know what you want"

[00:04:08] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:08] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:08] With the Memphis blues again

[00:04:08] Now the bricks lay on Grand Street

[00:04:08] Where the neon madmen climb

[00:04:08] They all fall there so perfectly

[00:04:08] It all seems so well timed

[00:04:08] An' here I sit so patiently

[00:04:08] Waiting to find out what price

[00:04:08] You have to pay to get out of

[00:04:08] Going through all these things twice

[00:04:08] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:08] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:08] With the Memphis blues again
