[00:00.00]Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again (Album Version) - Bob Dylan
[00:07.69]Oh the ragman draws circles
[00:11.73]Up and down the block
[00:14.23]I'd ask him what the matter was
[00:18.42]But I know that he don't talk
[00:21.94]And the ladies treat me kindly
[00:25.45]And furnish me with tape
[00:28.95]But deep inside my heart
[00:32.44]I know I can't escape
[00:36.31](Chorus)
[00:36.55]Oh Mama can this really be the end
[00:42.54]To be stuck inside of Mobile
[00:46.47]With the Memphis blues again
[00:52.02]Well Shakespeare he's in the alley
[00:55.83]With his pointed shoes and his bells
[00:59.38]Speaking to some French girl
[01:02.50]Who says she knows me well
[01:06.12]And I would send a message
[01:09.82]To find out if she's talked
[01:13.45]But the post office has been stolen
[01:16.84]And the mailbox is locked
[01:19.73](Repeat chorus)
[01:21.09]Oh Mama can this really be the end
[01:27.40]To be stuck inside of Mobile
[01:30.81]With the Memphis blues again
[01:36.93]Mona tried to tell me
[01:40.13]To stay away the railway
[01:43.89]She said that all the railroad men
[01:46.96]Just drink up your blood like wine
[01:50.77]An' I said"Oh I didn't know that
[01:54.01]But then again there's only one I've met
[01:57.69]An' he just smoked my eyelids
[02:01.25]An' punched my cigarette"
[02:05.18](Repeat chorus)
[02:21.45]Grandpa died last week
[02:23.89]And now he's buried in the rocks
[02:27.69]But everybody still talks about
[02:31.62]How badly they were shocked
[02:35.30]But me I expected it to happen
[02:38.74]I knew he'd lost control
[02:42.37]When he built a fire on Main Street
[02:45.76]And shot it full of holes
[02:48.64](Repeat chorus)
[03:05.44]Now the senator came down here
[03:09.50]Showing ev'ryone his gun
[03:12.74]Handing out free tickets
[03:16.05]To the wedding of his son
[03:19.44]An' me I nearly got busted
[03:23.20]An' wouldn't it be my luck
[03:26.27]To get caught without a ticket
[03:29.97]And be discovered beneath a truck
[03:33.91](Repeat chorus)
[03:49.70]Now the preacher looked so baffled
[03:53.38]When I asked him why he dressed
[03:56.75]With twenty pounds of headlines
[04:00.47]Stapled to his chest
[04:04.04]But he cursed me when I proved it to him
[04:07.45]Then I whispered"Not even you can hide
[04:09.39]You see you're just like me
[04:13.88]I hope you're satisfied"
[04:17.87](Repeat chorus)
[04:34.08]Now the rainman gave me two cures
[04:37.94]Then he said"Jump right in"
[04:41.74]The one was Texas medicine
[04:44.92]The other was just railroad gin
[04:48.48]An' like a fool I mixed them
[04:51.93]An' it strangled up my mind
[04:55.06]An' now people just get uglier
[04:58.64]An' I have no sense of time
[05:02.58](Repeat chorus)
[05:18.58]When Ruthie says come see her
[05:22.27]In her honky-tonk lagoon
[05:25.58]Where I can watch her waltz for free
[05:29.08]'Neath her Panamanian moon
[05:32.58]An' I say"Aw come on now
[05:36.09]You must know about my debutante"
[05:39.65]An' she says"Your debutante just knows what you need
[05:42.27]But I know what you want"
[05:46.65](Repeat chorus)
[06:03.09]Now the bricks lay on Grand Street
[06:06.71]Where the neon madmen climb
[06:09.96]They all fall there so perfectly
[06:13.14]It all seems so well timed
[06:17.01]An' here I sit so patiently
[06:20.44]Waiting to find out what price
[06:23.82]You have to pay to get out of
[06:27.29]Going through all these things twice
[06:30.94](Repeat chorus)
[06:31.31]Oh Mama can this really be the end
[06:37.96]To be stuck inside of Mobile
[06:40.33]With the Memphis blues again
