Mobile Blue

Headed south to work to the pipeline
Make some cash while in the meantime
Baby jumped a bird and flew away

Lordy, Lordy my mind's aching
Drunken down and out and making time
With anything that comes my way

I 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 one more day

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

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 we look like we could fly

I 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
