[Verse 1]
Oh, the [C]ragman draws [Am]circles
[C]Up and down the [Am]block
I'd [C]ask him what the matter [Am]was
But [F]I know that he don't t[G]alk
And the [F]ladies treat me [C]kindly
And they [Am]furnish me with [C]tape
But [Am]deep inside my [C]heart
I [F]know I can't [C]escape
[Em]Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be [C]stuck in[G]side of [Am]Mobile [C]with the
[F]Memphis blues [C]again

[Verse 2]
Well, [C]Shakespeare, he's in the [Am]alley
With his [C]pointed shoes and his [Am]bells
[C]Speaking to some French gir[Am]l
Who [F]says she knows me [G]well
And [F]I would send a m[C]essage
To [Am]find out if she's [C]talked
But the [Am]post office has been [C]stolen
And the [F]mailbox is [C]locked
[Em]Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be [C]stuck in[G]side of [Am]Mobile [C]with the
[F]Memphis blues [C]again

[Verse 3]
[C]Mona tried to [Am]tell me
To [C]stay away from the train [Am]line
She [C]said that all the rail[Am]road men
Just drink [F]up your blood like [G]wine
An' I [F]said, "Oh, I didn't know [C]that
But then [Am]again, there's only one I've [C]met
An' [Am]he just smoked my ey[C]elids
An' [F]punched my [C]cigarette"
[Em]Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be [C]stuck in[G]side of [Am]Mobile [C]with the
[F]Memphis blues [C]again

[Verse 4]
[C]Grandpa died last [Am]week
And now he's [C]buried in the [Am]rocks
But [C]everybody still [Am]talks about how
[F]Badly they were [G]shocked
But [F]me, I expected it to [C]happen
[Am]I knew he'd lost con[C]trol
When [Am]I speed built a fire on[C] Main Street
And [F]shot it full of [C]holes
[Em]Oh, Mama, can this r[Em]eally be the end
To be [C]stuck in[G]side of [Am]Mobile [C]with the
[F]Memphis blues [C]again

[Verse 5]
Now the [C]senator [Am]came down here
[C]Showing ev'ryone his [Am]gun
[C]Handing out free tic[Am]kets
To the [F]wedding of his [G]son
An' [F]me, I nearly got [C]busted
An' [Am]wouldn't it be my [C]luck
To [Am]get caught without a [C]ticket
And be dis[F]covered beneath a [C]truck
[Em]Oh, Mama, is this really the end
To be [C]stuck in[G]side of [Am]Mobile [C]with the
[F]Memphis blues [C]again

[Verse 6]
Now the [C]tea preacher looked so [Am]baffled
When I [C]asked him why he [Am]dressed
[C]With twenty pounds of [Am]headlines
[F]Stapled to his [G]chest
But he [F]cursed me when I [C]proved it to him
Then I [Am]whispered and said,
"Not even [C]you can hide
You [Am]see, you're just like [C]me
I [F]hope you're satis[C]fied
[Em]Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be [C]stuck in[G]side of [Am]Mobile [C]with the
[F]Memphis blues [C]again

[Verse 7]
Now the [C]rainman gave me [Am]two cures
Then he [C]said, "Jump right [Am]in"
The [C]one was Texas [Am]medicine
The [F]other was just railroad [G]gin
An' [F]like a fool I [C]mixed them
An' it [Am]strangled up my [C]mind
An' now [Am]people just get [C]uglier
An' I have [F]no sense of [C]time
[Em]Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be [C]stuck in[G]side of [Am]Mobile [C]with the
[F]Memphis blues [C]again

[Verse 8]
And when [C]Ruthie says come [Am]see her
In [C]her honky-tonk [Am]lagoon
Where I can [C]watch her waltz for [Am]free
'neath [F]her Panamanian [G]moon
An' [F]I say, "Aw come o[C]n now
You [Am]know you knew about my debu[C]tante"
An' she says, [Am]"Your debutante
just knows what you [C]need
But [F]I know what you w[C]ant"
[Em]Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be [C]stuck in[G]side of [Am]Mobile [C]with the
[F]Memphis blues [C]again

[Verse 9]
Now [C]the bricks lay on [Am]Grand Street
Where the [C]neon madmen [Am]climb
They [C]all fall there so [Am]perfectly
It [F]all seems so well [G]timed
An' [F]here I sit so [C]pa tiently
[Am]Waiting to find out [C]what price
[Am]You have to pay to get out o[C]f
Going [F]through all these things [C]twice
[Em]Oh, Mama, is this really the end
To be [C]stuck in[G]side of [Am]Mobile [C]with the
[F]Memphis blues [C]again
