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
