Verse
D Bm
Oh, the ragman draws circles
D Bm
Up and down the block
D Bm
I’d ask him what the matter was
G A
But I know that he don’t talk
G D
And the ladies treat me kindly
Bm D
And they furnish me with tape
Bm D
But deep inside my heart
G D
I know I can't escape
[Build-up]
F#m F#m F#m F#m
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
[Chorus]
D A/C# Bm
To be stuck inside of Mobile
A G/A D
With the Memphis blues again
(Baseline)

D Bm
Well, Shakespeare, he’s in the alley
D Bm
With his pointed shoes and his bells
D Bm
Speaking to some French girl
G A
Who says she knows me well
G D
And I would send a message
Bm D
To find out if she’s talked
Bm D
But the post office has been stolen
G D
And the mailbox is locked
(Chorus)
F#m F#m F#m F#m
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
D A/C# Bm
To be stuck inside of Mobile

D Bm
Mona tried to tell me
D Bm
To stay away from the train line
D Bm
She said that all the railroad men
G A
Just drink up your blood like wine
G D
And I said, “Oh, I didn’t know that
Bm D
But then again, there’s only one I’ve met
Bm D
And he just smoked my eyelids
G D
And punched my cigarette”
(Chorus)
F#m F#m F#m F#m
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

To be stuck inside of Mobile

D Bm
Grandpa died last week
D Bm
And now he’s buried in the rocks
D Bm
But everybody still talks about
G A
How badly they were shocked
G D
But me, I expected it to happen
Bm D
I knew he’d lost control
Bm D
When I spee-- built a fire on Main Street
G D
And shot it full of holes
(Chorus)
F#m F#m F#m F#m
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

D Bm
Now the senator came down here
D Bm
Showing everyone his gun
D Bm
Handing out free tickets
G A
To the wedding of his son
G D
And me, I nearly got busted
Bm D
And wouldn’t it be my luck
Bm D
To get caught without a ticket
G D
And be discovered beneath a truck
(Chorus)
F#m F#m F#m F#m
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

D Bm
Now the tea preacher looked so baffled
D Bm
When I asked him why he dressed
D Bm
With twenty pounds of headlines
G A
Stapled to his chest
G D
But he cursed me when I proved to him
Bm D
Then I whispered, said “Not even you can hide
Bm D
You see, you’re just like me
G D
I hope you’re satisfied”
(Chorus)

D Bm
Now the rainman gave me two cures
D Bm
Then he said, “Jump right in”
D Bm
The one was Texas medicine
G A
The other was just railroad gin
G D
And like a fool I mixed them
Bm D
And it strangled up my mind
Bm D
And now people just get uglier
G D
And I have no sense of time
(Chorus)
F#m F#m F#m F#m
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

D Bm
When Ruthie says come see her
D Bm
In her honky-tonk lagoon
D Bm
Where I can watch her waltz for free
G A
’Neath her Panamanian moon
G D
And I say, “Aw come on now
Bm D
You know ya' know about my debutante”
Bm D
And she says, “Your debutante just knows what you need
G D
But I know what you want”

D Bm
Now the bricks lay on Grand Street
D Bm
Where the neon madmen climb
D Bm
They all fall there so perfectly
G A
It all seems so well timed
G D
And here I sit so patiently
Bm D
Waiting to find out what price
Bm D
You have to pay to get out of
G D
Going through all these things twice
(Chorus)
F#m F#m F#m F#m
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
D A/C# Bm
To be stuck inside of Mobile
A G/A D
With the Memphis blues again
