Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again (Take 13, Alternate Take)歌词
作词 : Bob Dylan
作曲 : Bob Dylan
Oh the ragman draws circles
Up and down the block
I'd ask him what the matter was
But I know that he don't talk
And the ladies treat me kindly
And furnish me with tape
But deep inside my heart
I know I can't escape
Oh mama can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Well Shakespeare he's in the alley
With his pointed shoes and his bells
Speaking to some french girl
Who says she knows me well
And I would send a message
To find out if she's talked
But the post office has been stolen
And the mailbox is locked
Oh mama can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line
She said that all the railroad men
Just drink up your blood like wine
An' I said oh I didn't know that
But then again there's only one I've met
An' he just smoked my eyelids
An' punched my cigarette
Oh mama can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Grandpa died last week
And now he's buried in the rocks
But everybody still talks about
How badly they were shocked
But me I expected it to happen
I knew he'd lost control
When he built a fire on main street
And shot it full of holes
Oh mama can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Now the senator came down here
Showing ev'ryone his gun
Handing out free tickets
To the wedding of his son
An' me I nearly got busted
An' wouldn't it be my luck
To get caught without a ticket
And be discovered beneath a truck
Oh mama can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Now the preacher looked so baffled
When I asked him why he dressed
With twenty pounds of headlines
Stapled to his chest
But he cursed me when I proved it to him
Then I whispered not even you can hide
You see you're just like me
I hope you're satisfied
Oh mama can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Now the Rain man gave me two cures
Then he said jump right in
The one was Texas medicine
The other was just railroad gin
An' like a fool I mixed them
An' it strangled up my mind
An' now people just get uglier
An' I have no sense of time
Oh mama can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the Memphis blues again
