Curly Putman - Mobile Bay lyrics

[Verse 1] We were gathered around the garbage can, pa**ing around the bottle We were cold and burning anything, that was dry enough to burn A shaking 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 isn't January hell One guy said let's have a drink to Flagstaff Arizona And I thought I might freeze to d**h before I'd get to tell [Chorus] About Mobile Bay, magnolia blossoms, cool summer nights Warm rolling seas, and all my dreams, somewhere I'd lost them Mobile Bay, magnolia leaves, sweet Rosalee [Verse 2] The sun was barely coming up on the wrong side of Chicago And I was cold and hungry and all the wine was gone People pa**ed and pointed, said, there's another wino They didn't know that one more time my dreams would take me home [Chorus][x2]
