[Verse 1]
Headed south to work the pipeline
Make some cash while in the meantime
Baby jumped a bird and flew away
Lordy, Lordy, my mind's achin'
Drunk and down and out and makin' time
With anything that comes my way
[Chorus]
Staggered to the Greyhound station
L.A. man's my destination
Put me on the dog, take me away
Mobile blues, baby, I can't make it
Got me down, Lord, I can't take it
Here in Alabama for one more day
[Verse 2]
I called a friend in Frisco, he said, "Baby's in L.A"
Here I am in Alabama two thousand miles away
Lord, I got these Mobile blues today
[Verse 3]
Well, I left her back in Frisco, and she begged me not to go
I know somebody must have told her that I travel and I lie
That they saw me drunk in Mobile
With some wired up chick from Jacksonville
And, brother, did it look like we could fly
[Chorus]
Staggered to the Greyhound station
L.A. man's my destination
Put me on the dog, take me away
Lord, I got these Mobile blues today
Lord, I got the Mobile blues today
