[Verse 1]
As large as life, she stood there
Kissed my cheek and called my old nickname
And though several years had passed
Both of us still looked quite the same
[Verse 2]
I said, "hi," relaxed a bit
Then asked her how she'd been all these years
She told me she was feeling fine
Came to see a friend who lived up here
[Verse 3]
Told me she had finished school
And then went on to college for a year
I asked if she had married
Slowly down her cheek there came a tear
[Verse 4]
She said, "Just an itchy eye
It must be the weather way up here"
Told her, "I can't stand the cold
It freezes me and I can't feel my ears"
[Verse 5]
We talked a bit about Mobile
And thought about how it has never changed
I told her I was a-comin' home
To spend some time and hoped it wouldn't rain
As large as life, she stood there
Kissed my cheek and called my old nickname
And though several years had passed
Both of us still looked quite the same
[Verse 2]
I said, "hi," relaxed a bit
Then asked her how she'd been all these years
She told me she was feeling fine
Came to see a friend who lived up here
[Verse 3]
Told me she had finished school
And then went on to college for a year
I asked if she had married
Slowly down her cheek there came a tear

Told her, "I can't stand the cold
