Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mobile Line From: Giac Date: 19 May 01 - 10:04 PM Here's a link to another version of Mobile Line (France Blues) that was recorded by several people along about the same time as the Kweskin Jug Band. More recently, this version was recorded on Jimmie Dale Gilmore's Spinning Around The Sun CD. Scroll down about halfway for different, and more words: Mobile Line |
Subject: Lyr Add: THE MOBILE-TEXAS LINE From: MarkS Date: 19 May 01 - 10:22 PM There was also, I dont know if it is a take off or if the song we are discussing is a takeoff, an older song called "The Mobile-Texas Line." Was you ever down on the Mobile-Texas line Was you ever down on the Mobile-Texas line If you were say hello to that good old gal of mine. I've rode the Texas Central boys, I've rode the L and M I've rode the Texas Central boys, I've rode the L and M And those Alabama women, they look like section men. You also use the same tune and guitar technique for another oldie, "Turn Your Money Green." If this is what you are looking for, let me know by return post and I will try to get all the details I can. Regards MarkS |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mobile Line From: catspaw49 Date: 19 May 01 - 10:34 PM There is an old thread where both of these options were discussed and never found! Now we have three songs all found or listed.....Thanks Giac and Mark! ........and people say the 'Cat was better in the old days. I been around here a long while and it's different now that we've grown, but it certainly has come a long way towards finding things like this! Spaw |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mobile Line From: Troll Date: 19 May 01 - 10:36 PM A friend of mine named Charlie Jirousek plays Mobile Line. When his daughter, Terry, was three or four, she thought he was saying "Oatmeal Line" so that's how he introduces it sometimes. It embassases her no end since she is now a very mature ( and drop-dead gorgeous ) seventeen. We always camp together at the Florida Folk Festival and ahve a weekend of great music and fun. troll |

Subject: Lyr Add: MOBILE LINE (GONNA CARRY ME AWAY FROM... From: Jim Dixon Date: 25 Apr 02 - 03:01 PM If you're going to go to all that trouble to find a song, and it fits the definition of folk or blues (however you construe that), why not copy and paste it into the Forum? It may not be there (at the other web site) the next time somebody looks for it, and then it'll be a bitch to find all over again. Lyrics copied from http://die-augenweide.de/spoon/lyrics/mobile_line.htm :
MOBILE LINE (GONNA CARRY ME AWAY FROM THE BULL FROG BLUES)
Oh, did you ever take a trip, baby, on the Mobile Line?
I woke up this morning, baby, 'bout a quarter, baby, 'bout a quarter, a quarter to three.
Well, did you ever wake up with the bullfrogs on your, on your mind? [Performed by John Sebastian on "Faithful Virtue: The Reprise Recordings," Rhino Handmade #7758, 2001.] |
Subject: Lyr Add: MOBILE LINE (FRANCE BLUES) From: Jim Dixon Date: 25 Apr 02 - 03:14 PM Copied from http://www.jimmiegilmore.com/pages/satslyrics.html :
MOBILE LINE (FRANCE BLUES)
Well, hey, mama, now, did you ever go down on, down on the Mobile Line?
Well, I got a letter, now, this is the way it read.
Well, I ran out and I hopped out on the road.
Now, when I die, mama, don't you bury papa at all.
And when I die, mama, put my picture in a frame.
And when I die, I think I'm gonna stop by France.
Well, hey, mama, now, did you ever go down on, down on the Mobile Line? Well, it's a road to ride to ease your troublin' mind. [Recorded by Jimmie Dale Gilmore on "Spinning Around the Sun," Elektra CD #61502-2, 1993.] |
