Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again - Bob Dylan
Oh the ragman draws circles
拾荒人划着圆圈
Up and down the block
顺着街区来来往往
I'd ask him what the matter was

But I know that he don't talk
但我知道他不会讲
And the ladies treat me kindly
女士们对我很友善
And furnish me with tape
她们用彩带将我打扮
But deep inside my heart
但是在我内心深处
I know I can't escape
我知道我无处可逃
(Chorus)
Oh Mama can this really be the end

Well Shakespeare he's in the alley

With his pointed shoes and his bells
穿着他的尖头鞋和喇叭裤
Speaking to some French girl

Who says she knows me well
那女孩说跟我很熟
And I would send a message
我想给她寄去一封信
To find out if she's talked

But the post office has been stolen
可是邮局被人盗窃了
And the mailbox is locked
