Oh, the ragman draws circles
Up and down the block
I'd ask him what the matter was
But I know that he don't talk
And the ladies treated me kindly
And furnish me with tape
But deep inside of my heart
I know I can't escape
Oh, mama, can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of a mobile
With the Memphis blues again
ย
Shakespeare, he's in the alley
With his pointed shoes and his bells
Speaking to some French girl
Who says she knows me well
And I would send a message
To find out if she's talked
But the post office has been stolen
And the mailbox is locked
Oh, mama, can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of a mobile
With the Memphis blues again
ย
Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line
She said that all the railroad men
They just drink up your blood like wine
An' I said, "Oh, I didn't know that
But then again, there's only one I've met
An' he just smoked my eyelids
An' punched my cigarette."
Oh, mama, can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of a mobile
With the Memphis blues again
ย
Yeah, the ragman he draws circles
Up and down the block
I'd ask him what the matter was
But I know that he won't talk
But the ladies treat me kindly
And furnish me with tape
But deep inside of my heart
I know I can't escape
Oh, mama, can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of a mobile
With the Memphis blues again
