Lyrics and translation Bob Dylan - Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again (Take 13, Alternate Take)
Oh,
the
ragman
draws
circles
Oh,
le
chiffonnier
dessine
des
cercles
Up
and
down
the
block
De
haut
en
bas
du
pâté
de
maisons
I'd
ask
him
what
the
matter
was
Je
lui
demanderais
ce
qui
ne
va
pas
But
I
know
he
doesn't
talk
Mais
je
sais
qu'il
ne
parle
pas
And
the
ladies
treat
me
kindly
Et
les
dames
me
traitent
gentiment
And
furnish
me
with
tape
Et
me
fournissent
du
ruban
adhésif
But
neither
him
nor
the
ragman
Mais
ni
lui
ni
le
chiffonnier
Could
help
me
to
escape
Ne
pouvaient
m'aider
à
m'échapper
Oh,
Mama,
this
could
be
the
end
Oh,
Maman,
c'est
peut-être
la
fin
I'm
stuck
inside
of
Mobile
Je
suis
bloqué
à
Mobile
With
the
Memphis
blues
again
Avec
le
blues
de
Memphis
encore
Now,
Shakespeare's
in
the
alley
Maintenant,
Shakespeare
est
dans
l'allée
With
his
pointed
shoes
and
his
bells
Avec
ses
souliers
pointus
et
ses
cloches
Speaking
to
some
French
girl
Parlant
à
une
fille
française
Who
says
she
knows
me
well
Qui
dit
qu'elle
me
connaît
bien
And
I
would
send
a
message
Et
j'enverrais
un
message
To
find
out
if
she's
talked
Pour
savoir
si
elle
a
parlé
But
the
post
office
has
been
stolen
Mais
le
bureau
de
poste
a
été
volé
And
the
mailbox
is
locked
Et
la
boîte
aux
lettres
est
verrouillée
Oh,
Mama,
this
might
be
the
end
Oh,
Maman,
c'est
peut-être
la
fin
I'm
stuck
inside
of
Mobile
Je
suis
bloqué
à
Mobile
With
the
Memphis
blues
again
Avec
le
blues
de
Memphis
encore
Now,
Mona
tried
to
help
me
Maintenant,
Mona
a
essayé
de
m'aider
She
said
stay
away
from
the
train
line
Elle
a
dit
de
rester
loin
de
la
voie
ferrée
She
said
that
all
the
railroad
men
Elle
a
dit
que
tous
les
cheminots
Just
drink
up
your
blood
like
wine
Boivent
juste
ton
sang
comme
du
vin
An'
I
said,
"Oh,
I
don't
know
Et
j'ai
dit,
"Oh,
je
ne
sais
pas"
But
then
again,
there's
only
one
I've
met
Mais
encore
une
fois,
il
n'y
en
a
qu'un
que
j'ai
rencontré
An'
he
just
smoked
my
eyelids
Et
il
a
juste
fumé
mes
paupières
An'
punched
my
cigarette"
Et
a
frappé
ma
cigarette"
Oh,
Mama,
this
might
be
the
end
Oh,
Maman,
c'est
peut-être
la
fin
I'm
stuck
inside
of
Mobile
Je
suis
bloqué
à
Mobile
With
the
Memphis
blues
again
Avec
le
blues
de
Memphis
encore
Well,
Grandpa
died
last
week
Eh
bien,
Grand-père
est
mort
la
semaine
dernière
He's
buried
in
the
rocks
Il
est
enterré
dans
les
rochers
Everybody's
still
talking
about
Tout
le
monde
parle
encore
de
How
badly
he
was
shot
Comme
il
a
été
mal
abattu
And
me,
I
expected
it
Et
moi,
je
m'y
attendais
I
saw
he'd
lost
control
J'ai
vu
qu'il
avait
perdu
le
contrôle
When
he
built
a
fire
on
Main
Street
Quand
il
a
allumé
un
feu
sur
la
rue
principale
And
filled
it
full
of
holes
Et
l'a
rempli
de
trous
Oh,
Mama,
this
might
be
the
end
Oh,
Maman,
c'est
peut-être
la
fin
I'm
stuck
inside
of
Mobile
Je
suis
bloqué
à
Mobile
With
the
Memphis
blues
again
Avec
le
blues
de
Memphis
encore
Now
the
senator
came
down
here
Maintenant,
le
sénateur
est
venu
ici
Showing
ev'ryone
his
gun
Montrant
son
arme
à
tout
le
monde
Handing
out
free
tickets
Distribuant
des
billets
gratuits
To
the
wedding
of
his
son
Pour
le
mariage
de
son
fils
An'
I
nearly
got
busted
Et
j'ai
failli
me
faire
prendre
Wouldn't
it
be
my
luck
Ce
ne
serait
pas
de
ma
chance
To
get
caught
without
a
ticket
D'être
pris
sans
billet
And
be
discovered
beneath
a
truck
Et
d'être
découvert
sous
un
camion
Oh,
Mama,
this
might
be
the
end
Oh,
Maman,
c'est
peut-être
la
fin
I'm
be
stuck

Mobile
Je

With

Memphis
blues
again
Avec
le
blues
de
Memphis
encore
Well
the
preacher
looked
so
baffled
Eh
bien,
le
prédicateur
avait
l'air
tellement
déconcerté
Everytime
I
asked
him
why
he
dressed
Chaque
fois
que
je
lui
demandais
pourquoi
il
s'habillait
With
twenty
pounds
of
headlines
Avec
vingt
livres
de
titres
Stapled
on
his
chest
Agrafé
à
sa
poitrine
He
cursed
me
when
I'd
whisper
Il
m'a
maudit
quand
j'ai
chuchoté
And
say
"You're
not,
you
think
hide?
Et
dit
"Tu
n'es
pas,
tu
penses
te
cacher
?
You
see,
you're
just
like
me
Tu
vois,
tu
es
comme
moi
I
hope
you're
satisfied"
J'espère
que
tu
es
satisfait"
Oh,
Mama,
this
might
be
the
end
Oh,
Maman,
c'est
peut-être
la
fin
I'm
stuck
inside
of
Mobile
Je
suis
bloqué
à
Mobile
With
the
Nashville
blues
again
Avec
le
blues
de
Nashville
encore
Now
the
rainman
gave
me
two
cures
Maintenant,
le
pluieur
m'a
donné
deux
remèdes
Then
he
said,
"Jump
right
in"
Puis
il
a
dit
: "Saute
dedans"
The
one
was
Texas
medicine
L'un
était
la
médecine
du
Texas
The
other
was
railroad
gin
L'autre
était
le
gin
de
chemin
de
fer
An'
like
a
fool
I
mixed
them
Et
comme
un
idiot,
je
les
ai
mélangés
An'
it
strangled
up
my
mind
Et
ça
a
étranglé
mon
esprit
An'
now
people
just
get
uglier
Et
maintenant
les
gens
ne
font
que
devenir
plus
laids
An'
I
have
no
sense
of
time
Et
je
n'ai
aucune
notion
du
temps
Oh,
Mama,
I
just
need
a
friend
Oh,
Maman,
j'ai
juste
besoin
d'un
ami
I'm
