Mobile Blue

Drop D Tuning

(D) Headed south to work a pipeline
Make some cash while in the meantime
Baby jumped a bird and flew (A) away

Lordy Lordy my my mind is achin’
I'm drunk and down and out and makin’ time
With anything that comes my (D) way

Staggered to the Greyhound station
L.A. ma’am my destination
Put me on that dog take me (A) away

Mobile blue Lord I can’t make it
Got me down Lord I can’t take it
Here in Alabam' for one more (D) day

     (G) Lord I called a friend in Frisco Lord
     He said baby’s in (D) L.A.
     Here I am in Alabam’ and two thousand miles (A) away
     Lord I got them Mobile blues (D) today

(G) I left her back in Frisco Lord
She begged me not to go
I know somebody must have told her
That I travel and I (D) lie

(G) That they saw me drunk in Mobile
With some wired up chick from Jacksonville
And brother did we look like we could (A) fly

     (D) I staggered to the Greyhound station
     L.A. m’am my destination
     Put me on that dog take me (A)  away
     I got them Mobile blues (D) today

(A) I got them Mobile blues (D) today
