[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
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
