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, "Let's have a drink to Flagstaff Arizona"

And I thought I might freeze to death before i'd get to tell

'Bout Mobile Bay

Magnolia blossoms

Cool summer nights

Warm rollin' seas

And all my dreams

Somewhere I'd 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

"There's another wino"

They didn't 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 I'd lost 'em

Mobile bay

Magnolia leaves

Sweet Rosalee

Mobile Bay

Magnolia blossoms

Cool summer nights

Warm rollin' seas

And all my dreams
