Mobile Bay (Magnolia Blossoms)

歌詞

We were gathered round the garbage can passin' round the bottle We were cold and burnin' anything that was dry enough to burn A shivering 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 an army coat said the answer boys is Jesus And one cold Joe said all I know ain't January hell One guy said let's have a drink to Flagstaff Arizona I thought I'd nearly freeze to death before I'd get to tell About Mobile Bay, magnolia blossoms Cool summer nights, warm rolling sea And all the dreams somewhere I'd lost 'em Mobile Bay, magnolia leaves, sweet Rosalee As daylight broke that morning on the wrong side of Chicago He was cold and hungry and all the wine was gone People passed and pointed and said there's another wino They didn't know that one last time his dreams would take him home Back to Mobile Bay, magnolia blossoms Cool summer nights, warm rolling sea And all my dreams somewhere I lost them Mobile Bay, magnolia leaves, sweet Rosalee
