Mobile Bay
We were gathered 'round the garbage can passin' round the bottle,
We were cold and burning anything, that was dry enough to burn.
A shakin man said he had left his family back in Boston,
And I knew I'd hear a whole lot more, before it came my turn.
A bearded man in his army coat said the answer boys is Jesus,
The one called Joe said all I know is ain't January hell?
One guy said lets have a drink to Flagstaff Arizona?
And I thought I might freeze to death before id get to tell.
Bout Mobile Bay , magnolia blossoms. Cool summer nights
Warm rollin seas. And all my dreams, somewhere Id lost 'em,
Mobile Bay, magnolia leaves, sweet Rosalee.
The sun was barely comin up on the wrong side of Chicago
And I was cold and hungry and all the wine was gone.
People passed and pointed, said theres another wino.
They didnt know that one more time my dreams would take me home.
Back to, Mobile Bay, magnolia blossoms. cool summer nights
Warm rollin seas. And all my dreams, somewhere Id lost 'em,
Mobile bay, magnolia leaves, sweet Rosalee.
