A letra:
We were gathered around the garbage
can, passing 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 death before I’d get to
tell
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
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 passed and pointed, said, there’s another
wino
They didn’t know that one more time my dreams would take me
home
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
Mobile Bay, magnolia blossoms, cool
summer nights
Warm rolling seas, and all my dreams...
