Verse: 1
        E            C#m
Oh, the ragman draws circles
E               C#m
Up and down the block
    E                C#m
I’d ask him what the matter was
      A                  B (7)
But I know that he don’t talk
        A               E
And the ladies treat me kindly
          C#m             E
And they furnish me with tape
    C#m            E
But deep inside my heart
  A              E
I know I can’t escape
G#m
Oh Mama, can this really be the end?
      E       B       C#m
To be stuck inside of Mobile,
E        Asus2          E
With the Memphis blues again?  bass: E, D,  B, A, G#, E:


Verse: 2
      E                        C#m
Well, Shakespeare, he’s in the alley
         E                     C#m
With his pointed shoes and his bells
E                 C#m
 Speaking to some French girl
    A                 B
Who says she knows me well
    A              E
And I would send a message
    C#m              E
To find out if she’s talked
        C#m                  E
But the post office has been stolen
        A          E
And the mailbox is locked
G#m
Oh Mama, can this really be the end?
      E       B       C#m
To be stuck inside of Mobile,
E        A       Asus2  E
With the Memphis blues again?   bass: E, D,  B, A, G#, E:


Verse: 3
E              C#m
Mona tried to tell me
   E                        C#m
To stay away from the train line
    E                 C#m
She said that all the railroad men
           A                  B
Just drink up your blood like wine
      A                   E
An’ I said, “Oh, I didn’t know that
           C#m                        E
But then again, there’s only one I’ve met
    C#m               E
An’ he just smoked my eyelids
    A              E
An’ punched my cigarette”
G#m
Oh Mama, can this really be the end?
      E       B       C#m
To be stuck inside of Mobile,
E        A       Asus2  E

Verse: 4
E                 C#m
Grandpa died last week
             E             C#m
And now he’s buried in the rocks
    E               C#m
But everybody still talks about
    A               B
How badly they were shocked
    A                    E
But me, I expected it to happen
  C#m               E
I knew he’d lost control
        C#m             E
When he built a fire on Main Street
    A               E
And shot it full of holes
G#m
Oh Mama, can this really be the end?
      E       B       C#m
To be stuck inside of Mobile,
E        A       Asus2  E

Verse: 5
        E       C#m
Now the senator came down here
E                    C#m
Showing ev’ryone his gun
E                 C#m
 Handing out free tickets
       A              B
To the wedding of his son
    A                E
An’ me, I nearly got busted
    C#m               E
An’ wouldn’t it be my luck
       C#m              E
To get caught without a ticket
          A                 E
And be discovered beneath a truck
G#m
Oh Mama, is this really the end?
      E       B       C#m
To be stuck inside of Mobile,
E        A       Asus2  E

Verse: 6
        E                  C#m
Now the preacher looked so baffled
       E                C#m
When I asked him why he dressed
     E                C#m
With twenty pounds of headlines
A              B
Stapled to his chest
       A                E
But he cursed me when I proved to him
       C#m                          E
Then I whispered, “Not even you can hide
    C#m                   E
You see, you’re just like me
  A                E
I hope you’re satisfied”
G#m
Oh Mama, can this really be the end?
      E       B       C#m
To be stuck inside of Mobile,
E        A       Asus2  E
with the Memphis blues again?   bass: E, D,  B, A, G#, E:


Verse: 7
        E               C#m
Now the rainman gave me two cures
        E                 C#m
Then he said, “Jump right in”
    E               C#m
The one was Texas medicine
    A                       B
The other was just railroad gin
    A             E
An’ like a fool I mixed them
       C#m             E
An’ it strangled up my mind
        C#m             E
An’ now people just get uglier
      A                E
An’ I have no sense of time
G#m
Oh Mama, can this really be the end?
      E       B       C#m

Verse: 8
     E                C#m
When Ruthie says come see her
       E            C#m
In her honky-tonk lagoon
            E                   C#m
Where I can watch her waltz for free
           A           B
’Neath her  Panamanian moon
     A              E
An’ I say, “Aw come on now
    C#m                        E
You know you know about my debutante”
                    C#m                           E
An’ she says, “Your debutante just knows what you need
    A               E
But I know what you want”
G#m
Oh Mama, can this really be the end?
      E       B       C#m

Verse: 9
        E             C#m
Now the bricks lay on Grand Street
          E           C#m
Where the neon madmen climb
     E                 C#m
They all fall there so perfectly
   A                 B
It all seems so well timed
    A             E
An’ here I sit so patiently
C#m                      E
Waiting to find out what price
    C#m                E
You have to pay to get out of
      A                        E
Going through all these things twice
G#m
Oh Mama, is this really the end?
      E       B       C#m
To be stuck inside of Mobile,
E        Asus2           E :
