Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again

Oh, the ragman draws circles

Up and down the block

I’d ask him what the matter was

But I know that he don’t talk

And the ladies treat me kindly

And furnish me with tape

But deep inside my heart

I know I can’t escape

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

To be stuck inside of Mobile

With the Memphis blues again

Well, Shakespeare, he’s in the alley

With his pointed shoes and his bells

Speaking to some French girl

Who says she knows me well

And I would send a message

To find out if she’s talked

But the post office has been stolen

And the mailbox is locked

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

To be stuck inside of Mobile

With the Memphis blues again

Mona tried to tell me

To stay away from the train line

She said that all the railroad men

Just drink up your blood like wine

An’ I said, “Oh, I didn’t know that

But then again, there’s only one I’ve met

An’ he just smoked my eyelids

An’ punched my cigarette”

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

To be stuck inside of Mobile

With the Memphis blues again

Grandpa died last week

And now he’s buried in the rocks

But everybody still talks about

How badly they were shocked

But me, I expected it to happen

I knew he’d lost control

When he built a fire on Main Street

And shot it full of holes

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

To be stuck inside of Mobile

With the Memphis blues again

Now the senator came down here

Showing ev’ryone his gun

Handing out free tickets

To the wedding of his son

An’ me, I nearly got busted

An’ wouldn’t it be my luck

To get caught without a ticket

And be discovered beneath a truck

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

To be stuck inside of Mobile

With the Memphis blues again

Now the preacher looked so baffled

When I asked him why he dressed

With twenty pounds of headlines

Stapled to his chest

But he cursed me when I proved it to him

Then I whispered, “Not even you can hide

You see, you’re just like me

I hope you’re satisfied”

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

To be stuck inside of Mobile

With the Memphis blues again

Now the rainman gave me two cures

Then he said, “Jump right in”

The one was Texas medicine

The other was just railroad gin

An’ like a fool I mixed them

An’ it strangled up my mind

An’ now people just get uglier

An’ I have no sense of time

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

To be stuck inside of Mobile

With the Memphis blues again

When Ruthie says come see her

In her honky-tonk lagoon

Where I can watch her waltz for free

’Neath her Panamanian moon

An’ I say, “Aw come on now

You must know about my debutante”

An’ she says, “Your debutante just knows what you need

But I know what you want”

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

To be stuck inside of Mobile

With the Memphis blues again

Now the bricks lay on Grand Street

Where the neon madmen climb

They all fall there so perfectly

It all seems so well timed

An’ here I sit so patiently

Waiting to find out what price

You have to pay to get out of

Going through all these things twice

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

To be stuck inside of Mobile

With the Memphis blues again

再次困在莫比尔和孟菲斯蓝调一起

[美]鲍勃·迪伦

李皖译

噢，收破烂的画着圈

走来走去都在同一地儿转

我想问他是怎么回事

但我知道他缄口不言

女士们都待我很好

提供给我带子

但是我心底下明白

不可能逃得出去

唉，妈妈，这事可否到此为止

再次困在莫比尔

和孟菲斯蓝调一起

哦，莎士比亚，他在小巷里

穿着尖头鞋，拿着铃铛

和一个法国姑娘讲话

她说跟我是老熟人

我本想捎个信儿

弄清楚她是否真这么说了

但是邮局被偷走了

信箱也上了锁

唉，妈妈，这事可否到此为止

再次困在莫比尔

和孟菲斯蓝调一起

莫娜想告诫我

千万离铁路线远点儿

她说那些铁道员

会像喝酒一样把你的血喝干

啊我说：“哦，我不知道这事

话说回来，我只碰到过一个

而他只是熏我的眼皮

挥拳揍了我的香烟”

唉，妈妈，这事可否到此为止

再次困在莫比尔

和孟菲斯蓝调一起

爷爷上星期死了

现在埋在石堆中

人人都还在议论

说他们是多么震惊

但是我，早就有预感

我知道他已经疯了

竟在大街上生火

又开枪轰得它满是洞

唉，妈妈，这事可否到此为止

再次困在莫比尔

和孟菲斯蓝调一起

喏，参议员也来了

向每个人秀他的枪

还派发赠票

叫人参加他儿子的婚礼

我呢，差点被警察逮捕

实在是我运气好

要不是因为逃票被抓

被人发现躲在卡车下

唉，妈妈，这事可否到此为止

再次困在莫比尔

和孟菲斯蓝调一起

喏，牧师看来大惑不解

当我问他为什么这样打扮

要把二十磅重的新闻标题

钉在胸前

当我指给他，牧师破口大骂

我只好小声说：“连你也没法藏

你看，你就像我一样

但愿你能称心如意”

唉，妈妈，这事可否到此为止

再次困在莫比尔

和孟菲斯蓝调一起

喏，雨人给我两副药

然后说：“马上服”

一副是得州良药

一副是铁道杜松子酒

像个傻瓜我将两者混起来

它勒死了我的大脑

人人看上去更加丑陋

我的时间概念也没了

唉，妈妈，这事可否到此为止

再次困在莫比尔

和孟菲斯蓝调一起

露丝让我去看她

到她南方酒吧的咸水池

我可以免费看她跳华尔兹

在她巴拿马的月亮下

我说：“少来啦

你应该知道我家元媛”

她说：“你家元媛只知道你需要什么

而我却知道什么是你想要的”

唉，妈妈，这事可否到此为止

再次困在莫比尔

和孟菲斯蓝调一起

喏，砖头铺上格兰街

霓虹灯疯子往上爬

他们完全碰巧落在那儿

像是时间经过了精确设计

我则耐心坐在这里

等着搞明白

须付出怎样的代价

才不至于将这些事从头再来一回

唉，妈妈，这事可否到此为止

再次困在莫比尔

和孟菲斯蓝调一起

注1：莫比尔，位于美国亚拉巴马州。

注2：孟菲斯蓝调，“蓝调之父”W.C.汉迪有同名歌曲，这也是“蓝调”一词在书面上的最早记载。

注3：得州良药，致幻剂麦司卡林俗称，以美墨边境生长的仙人掌提炼而成。

注4：元媛（debutante），初进社交界的上流社会年轻女子。

出自专辑《金发女叠着金发女》
