Headed south to work a pipeline Make some cash while in the meantime Baby jumped a bird and flew away
Lordy, Lordy, my, my mind's achin' Drunk and down and out and makin' time With anything that comes my way
Staggered to the Greyhound station L.A. ma'am my destination Put me on that dog take me away
Mobile blue Lord, I can't make it Got me down Lord, I can't take it Here in Alabama for one more day
Lord I called a friend in Frisco Lord He said baby's in L.A Here I am in Alabama and two thousand miles away Lord I got them mobile blues today
Aw 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 lie
That they saw me drunk in mobile With some wired up chick from Jacksonville And brother did we look like we could fly
I staggered to the Greyhound station L.A. ma'am my destination Put me on that dog take me away I got them mobile blues today I got them mobile blues today
