Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again came on just as I was walking into the office and I knew I had to cut this one for you...it's really sweet, even though Bobby goes a bit overboard. The fat man even helps out in the 'Texas medicine' verse.
This is my fave, though, of this totally-out-there masterpiece...
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.
I hope you enjoy it even half as much as I do!
Grateful Dead - April 3, 1988
