Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again - Cat Power
Oh, the ragman draws circles

Up and down the block

Id ask him what the matter was
But I know that he dont talk
And the ladies treat me kindly
And furnish me with tape

But deep inside my heart
I know I cant escape
Oh, Mama
Can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again

Well, Shakespeare
Hes 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 shes 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 didnt know that
But then again
Theres only one Ive 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 hes buried
In the rocks
But everybody
Still talks about
How badly
They were shocked
But me
I expected it to happen
I knew hed 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 evryone his gun
Handing out free tickets
To the wedding of his son

An me, I nearly got busted
An wouldnt 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, youre just like me
I hope youre satisfied＂

Oh, Mama
Can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again

Now the rainman
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

When Ruthie says come see her
In her honky-tonk lagoon
Where I can watch her
Waltz for free
Neath her Panamanian moon
An I say
＂Aw come on now
You must know about
My debutante＂
An she says
＂Your debutante just knows
What you need
But I know what you want＂
Oh, Mama
Can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again

Now the bricks lay
In Grand Street
Where the neon madmen climb

They all fall there
So perfectly
It all seems so well timed
An here I sit so patiently
Waiting to find out what price

You have to pay
To get out of going through all
These things twice

Oh, Mama
Can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again
