Mobile Blues

D

D
Headed south to work on a pipeline

Makin' hay and Lord in the meantime
                                 A7
Baby jumped a bird and she flew away

Lordy, Lord, while my mind's achin'

I'm drunk and down and out and makin' time
                            D
With anything that comes my way


Staggered to the Greyhound station

Tellin' him my destination
                            A7
Put me on that dog take me away

Oh I'm blue Lord, I can't make it

I got the down and Lord I can't take it
                             D
Here in Alabam' for one more day

G                                       D
Called in my my old in Frisco he's in L.A.
                                   A7
Here I am in Birmingham 2000 miles away
                              D
Lord I got them Mobile blues today

Left her back in Frisco Lord she begged me not to go
                                                D
Somebody must have told her that I trifle and I lied
          G
That they saw me drunk in Mobile

With some wired up chick from Jacksonville
                                      A7
And brother did we look like we could fly
