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

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

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

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

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

To be stuck inside of Mobile

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

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

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

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