Mobile Blue

[Verse 1]

Headed south to work the pipeline

Make some cash while in the meantime

Baby jumped a bird and flew away

Lordy, Lordy, my mind's achin'

Drunk and down and out and makin' time

With anything that comes my way

[Chorus]

Staggered to the Greyhound station

L.A. man's my destination

Put me on the dog, take me away

Mobile blues, baby, I can't make it

Got me down, Lord, I can't take it

Here in Alabama for one more day

[Verse 2]

I called a friend in Frisco, he said, "Baby's in L.A"

Here I am in Alabama two thousand miles away

Lord, I got these Mobile blues today

[Verse 3]

Well, I left her back in Frisco, and she begged me not to go

I know somebody must have told her that I travel and I lie

That they saw me drunk in Mobile

With some wired up chick from Jacksonville

And, brother, did it look like we could fly

[Chorus]

Staggered to the Greyhound station

L.A. man's my destination

Put me on the dog, take me away

Lord, I got these Mobile blues today

Lord, I got the Mobile blues today
