    Lyrics:
    Oh, the ragman draws circles
    Up and down the block
    I’d ask him what the matter was
    But I know that he don’t talk
    And the ladies treat me kindly
    And they furnish me with tape
    But deep inside my heart
    I know I can’t escape
    Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
    To be stuck inside of Mobile with the
    Memphis blues again
    Well, Shakespeare, he’s in the alley
    With his pointed shoes and his bells
    Speaking to some French girl
    Who says she knows me well
    And I would send a message
    To find out if she’s talked
    But the post office has been stolen
    And the mailbox is locked
    Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
    To be stuck inside of Mobile
    With the Memphis blues again
    Mona tried to tell me
    To stay away from the train line
    She said that all the railroad men
    Just drink up your blood like wine
    An’ I said, “Oh, I didn’t know that
    But then again, there’s only one I’ve met
    An’ he just smoked my eyelids
    An’ punched my cigarette”
    Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
    To be stuck inside of Mobile
    With the Memphis blues again
    Grandpa died last week
    And now he’s buried in the rocks
    But everybody still talks about how
    Badly they were shocked
    But me, I expected it to happen
    I knew he’d lost control
    When I speed built a fire on Main Street
    And shot it full of holes
    Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
    To be stuck inside of Mobile
    With the Memphis blues again
    Now the senator came down here
    Showing ev’ryone his gun
    Handing out free tickets
    To the wedding of his son
    An’ me, I nearly got busted
    An’ wouldn’t it be my luck
    To get caught without a ticket
    And be discovered beneath a truck
    Oh, Mama, is this really be the end
    To be stuck inside of Mobile
    With the Memphis blues again
    Now the tea preacher looked so baffled
    When I asked him why he dressed
    With twenty pounds of headlines
    Stapled to his chest
    But he cursed me when I proved it to him
    Then I whispered and said, “Not even you can hide
    You see, you’re just like me
    I hope you’re satisfied”
    Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
    To be stuck inside of Mobile
    With the Memphis blues again
    Now the rainman gave me two cures
    Then he said, “Jump right in”
    The one was Texas medicine
    The other was just railroad gin
    An’ like a fool I mixed them
    An’ it strangled up my mind
    An’ now people just get uglier
    An’ I have no sense of time
    Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
    To be stuck inside of Mobile
    With the Memphis blues again
    And when Ruthie says come see her
    In her honky-tonk lagoon
    Where I can watch her waltz for free
    ’neath her Panamanian moon
    An’ I say, “Aw come on now
    You know you knew about my debutante”
    An’ she says, “Your debutante just knows what you need
    But I know what you want”
    Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
    To be stuck inside of Mobile
    With the Memphis blues again
    Now the bricks lay on Grand Street
    Where the neon madmen climb
    They all fall there so perfectly
    It all seems so well timed
    An’ here I sit so patiently
    Waiting to find out what price
    You have to pay to get out of
    Going through all these things twice
    Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
    To be stuck inside of Mobile
    With the Memphis blues again

    I have a fond memory of walking around Harvard Square in the late 1970s ... it was a warm sunny day and a fellow student saw fit to blast this song on their big-ass speakers out of their upper dorm-room window. Soon people all over the street started singing along, many doing fine imitations of Dylan's trademark drawl. It was funny and epic and beautiful, IMO a fitting homage.

    Massive props to Al Kooper (organist). He made so many great songs with his additions. Organ again on "Like a Rolling Stone" with Dylan, and the French Horn/Piano in "You Can't Always Get What you Want." Also added a lot to Lynyrd Skynyrd (drums, mandelin, bass, organ) albums. And his primary instrument was guitar. They don't make musicians (or music) like him, anymore.

    I was stuck inside of Mobile in the early fall of 1963 although I didn’t have the Memphis blues or any kind of blues. At the time I was stationed at Gunter AFB (Montgomery AL) and decided to take a Greyhound to Pensacola. After spending several hours at the beach I thought I would try hitching a ride to New Orleans and do some sightseeing. I finally got a ride late that night but he was only going to Mobile. He dropped me off around 2 a.m. and I decided to forget about New Orleans and take the Greyhound back to Montgomery. I waited in the Mobile bus station for 6+ hours before catching the express and returning to the base.

      He also has an exquisite musical ear. But he isn't and never was primarily an instrumentalist. When he was just playing guitar and harmonica, he acquitted himself quite nicely. When he plays lead guitar though, he is really subtracting from the quality of the song and the show, considering he usually has great players.

    These lightning sharp lyrics, sung by the greatest voice of our time, clearly establish the genius of Dylan.
    But it’s all over in his work, with so many masterpieces. E.g. “Einstein disguised as Robin Hood. . .passed thi way an hour ago with his friend, some jealous monk. He looked so immaculately frightful, as he bummed a cigarette, then went off sniffing drainpipes and reciting the alphabet. . .
    Of course he deserved the Nobel prize and Presidential Medal of Freedom. The value he has contributed is truly greater than any honor could wxpress. He will never fade from the English language.

    Being from Memphis this always brought me in. But anything Bob sings is my favorite. This reminds me of standing in the rain watching him sing for 2 hrs at
    Beale St music festival in Memphis next to the MS river. Best 2 hrs ever.
    Thanks Bob. 😊 ☺ Love ya 😘 ❤

    Number 1 in my top 159 favorite Bob songs. Then there are 246 that I just really like, 51 that are still pretty damn good. That leaves 40-some that are “okay.” God bless you Bob!

    Dylan’s genius was in his ability to do what he wanted without concern for critics of music or art. He could never be pigeonholed. He grasped every range of human experience from humour to pathos, defying all theological categories, defying all styles and popular trends.

    Pity the millions of people that think Bob Dylan cannot sing . . . . [WRONG] . . . That is exactly what he can do. He does it better than anyone else. The lyrics are impossible masterpieces sung by an incredible voice. People . . . just LISTEN. Every word becomes a new definition of itself, because of the way his voice punctuates and emphasizes the words.
    Now . . . play the song again, BUT this time forget what you're hearing and "SEE" all the images he's created. Spelling corrected Got excited.

    Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. Your normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop-heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow.
