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
