Coosada Blues - Nellie McKay

There’s a town near Old Montgomery

Past the land where palm trees roll

In the heart of Magnolia country

Callin' me home, sweet mobile home

We had left that coastal city

Traveled north across the plain

Till those soft sweet postal delis

Led us away

Oh, save my soul on a rainy day

Honey, my heart’s been petrified

Oh, take me whole in the month of May

Darling, don’t leave me paralyzed

When I finally saw you comin'

Over hill and windin' roads

Little crowd silently drummin'

Straight for our home, sweet mobile home

Oh, save my soul on a rainy day

Honey, my heart’s been petrified

Oh, take me whole in the month of May

Darling, don’t leave me paralyzed

Through the south land of my memories

With an ivy covered dome

Every day’s a long lonely cemetery

Callin' me home, sweet mobile home
