《The Prophet Rides Again》歌词

[00:04:00] Oh, the Ragman draws circles up and down the block

[00:04:00] I'd ask him what the matter was but I know that he don't talk

[00:04:00] And the ladies treat me kindly and furnish me with tape

[00:04:00] But deep inside my heart, Lord, I know I can't escape

[00:04:00] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:00] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:00] With the Memphis blues again?

[00:04:00] Shakespeare, he's in the alley with his pointed shoes and his bells

[00:04:00] Speaking to some French girl who says she knows me well

[00:04:00] And I would send a message to find out if she's talked

[00:04:00] But the post office has been stolen and the mailbox is locked

[00:04:00] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:00] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:00] With the Memphis blues again?

[00:04:00] Mona tried to tell me, stay away from the train line

[00:04:00] She said that all the railroad men drink up your blood like wine

[00:04:00] And I said, "Oh I didn't know that but then again there's only one I've met

[00:04:00] And he just smoked my eyelids and punched my cigarette"

[00:04:00] Ooh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:00] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:00] With the Memphis blues again?

[00:04:00] Grandpa died last week, now he's buried in the rocks

[00:04:00] Everyone still talks about how badly they were shocked

[00:04:00] But me, I expected it to happen, when I seen him lose control

[00:04:00] He built a fire on Main Street and shot it full of holes

[00:04:00] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:00] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:00] With the Memphis blues again?

[00:04:00] Well now Ruthie said, "Come see her in her honky-tonk lagoon

[00:04:00] Where I could watch her waltz for free 'neath her Panamanian moon"

[00:04:00] And I said, "Aw come on now, you know you know about my debutante"

[00:04:00] She said, "Your debutante just knows what you need

[00:04:00] But I know what you want"

[00:04:00] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:00] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:00] With the Memphis blues again?

[00:04:00] Now the bricks, they fall on Grand Street where the neon madmen climb

[00:04:00] They'd all fall there so perfectly it all seems so well timed

[00:04:00] And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price

[00:04:00] You have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice

[00:04:00] Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

[00:04:00] To be stuck inside of Mobile

[00:04:00] With the Memphis blues again?
