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

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

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

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