Verse
F# D#m
Oh, the ragman draws circles
F# D#m
Up and down the block
F# D#m
I’d ask him what the matter was
B C#
But I know that he don’t talk
B F#
And the ladies treat me kindly
D#m F#
And they furnish me with tape
D#m F#
But deep inside my heart
B F#
I know I can't escape
[Build-up]
A#m A#m A#m A#m
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
[Chorus]
F# C#/F D#m
To be stuck inside of Mobile
C# B/C# F#
With the Memphis blues again
(Baseline)

F# D#m
Well, Shakespeare, he’s in the alley
F# D#m
With his pointed shoes and his bells
F# D#m
Speaking to some French girl
B C#
Who says she knows me well
B F#
And I would send a message
D#m F#
To find out if she’s talked
D#m F#
But the post office has been stolen
B F#
And the mailbox is locked
(Chorus)
A#m A#m A#m A#m
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
F# C#/F D#m
To be stuck inside of Mobile
C# B/C# F#
With the Memphis blues again

F# D#m
Mona tried to tell me
F# D#m
To stay away from the train line
F# D#m
She said that all the railroad men
B C#
Just drink up your blood like wine
B F#
And I said, “Oh, I didn’t know that
D#m F#
But then again, there’s only one I’ve met
D#m F#
And he just smoked my eyelids
B F#
And punched my cigarette”
(Chorus)
A#m A#m A#m A#m
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
F# C#/F D#m
To be stuck inside of Mobile

F# D#m
Grandpa died last week
F# D#m
And now he’s buried in the rocks
F# D#m
But everybody still talks about
B C#
How badly they were shocked
B F#
But me, I expected it to happen
D#m F#
I knew he’d lost control
D#m F#
When I spee-- built a fire on Main Street
B F#
And shot it full of holes
(Chorus)
A#m A#m A#m A#m
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
F# C#/F D#m
To be stuck inside of Mobile

F# D#m
Now the senator came down here
F# D#m
Showing everyone his gun
F# D#m
Handing out free tickets
B C#
To the wedding of his son
B F#
And me, I nearly got busted
D#m F#
And wouldn’t it be my luck
D#m F#
To get caught without a ticket
B F#
And be discovered beneath a truck
(Chorus)
A#m A#m A#m A#m
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
F# C#/F D#m
To be stuck inside of Mobile
C# B/C# F#

F# D#m
Now the tea preacher looked so baffled
F# D#m
When I asked him why he dressed
F# D#m
With twenty pounds of headlines
B C#
Stapled to his chest
B F#
But he cursed me when I proved to him
D#m F#
Then I whispered, said “Not even you can hide
D#m F#
You see, you’re just like me
B F#
I hope you’re satisfied”
(Chorus)
A#m A#m A#m A#m
Aw, Mama, can this really be the end

F# D#m
Now the rainman gave me two cures
F# D#m
Then he said, “Jump right in”
F# D#m
The one was Texas medicine
B C#
The other was just railroad gin
B F#
And like a fool I mixed them
D#m F#
And it strangled up my mind
D#m F#
And now people just get uglier
B F#
And I have no sense of time
(Chorus)
A#m A#m A#m A#m
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

F# D#m
When Ruthie says come see her
F# D#m
In her honky-tonk lagoon
F# D#m
Where I can watch her waltz for free
B C#
’Neath her Panamanian moon
B F#
And I say, “Aw come on now
D#m F#
You know ya' know about my debutante”
D#m F#
And she says, “Your debutante just knows what you need
B F#
But I know what you want”

F# D#m
Now the bricks lay on Grand Street
F# D#m
Where the neon madmen climb
F# D#m
They all fall there so perfectly
B C#
It all seems so well timed
B F#
And here I sit so patiently
D#m F#
Waiting to find out what price
D#m F#
You have to pay to get out of
B F#
Going through all these things twice
(Chorus)
A#m A#m A#m A#m
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
F# C#/F D#m
To be stuck inside of Mobile
C# B/C# F#
With the Memphis blues again
