The Holy Modal Rounders
Mobile Line
Did you ever take a trip, honey, on the Mobile line?
Hey lord mom, hey lord pop-pop, talk about Mobile line
It’s a road to ride to ease your troubled mind

Do you see the engineer picking on a mandolin?
Hey lord ma, hey lord papa talk about a mandolin
Toking on the river and drinking bathtub gin

Did you ever wake up with bullfrogs on your, bullfrogs on your, on your mind?
Do you ever wake up with bullfrogs on your mind?
Tadpoles swimmin’ up and down your spine

How long, pretty baby, we’re gonna live in style, live in style
Hey lord, ma-mama, lord pop-pop, swear we’re gonna live in style
Gone be a bullfrog for one hundred miles, be a bullfrog

[Solo]

How long, pretty baby, we’re gonna live in style, live in style
Hey lord ma-mama, hey lord pop-pop, swear we’re gonna live in style
Won’t be no bullfrogs for one hundred miles

Now the whistle is a-screamin’ and the poundin’ wheels rollin’ and rollin’ round and round and round
Hey lord, ma-mama! Hey lord, papa! Ride wheel rollin’ round
And the whistle is a-screamin’ and a-howlin’ like a lonesome hound
If I ever return, honey, to this bullfrog town
Hey lord ma-mama, hey lord pop-pop, talk about a bullfrog town
I’d dynamite the building and shoot all the people down

You think I’m evil and that evil’s what I am
Hey lord, ma-mama! Hey pop-pop! Evil’s what I am
I’m the evilest bullfrog stompin’ ‘round in Alabam’

I’m a-happy to escape the power of the bullfrog, power of the bullfrog, I mean curse
I’m happy to escape the power of the bullfrog curse
Ahh Mobile line is ridin’ in a hearse
