Well, Shakespeare, he's in the alley With his pointed shoes and his bells, Speaking to some French girl, Who says she knows me well.

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.

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 he's buried in the rocks, But everybody still talks about How badly they were shocked.

Now the senator came down here Showing ev'ryone his gun, Handing out free tickets To the wedding of his son.

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, you're just like me, I hope you're 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.

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

Now the bricks lay on Grand Street Where the neon madmen climb. They all fall there so perfectly, It all seems so well timed.
