New Gulf Coast Blues Lyrics


I done pack my belong
Gonna leave my woes
Goin' to a better place
With a smile upon my faceWhen that steam boat blows
And that Gulf stream flows
You'll hear me say goodbye
Because there's a reason whyThe Gulf of Mexico
Flows in to the Mobile Bay
The Gulf of Mexico
Flows in to the Mobile Bay
I'm gonna let that cool stream of water
Flow over my head somedayTell me mister mailman
What is on your mind?
Tell me mister mailman
What is on your mind?
If you pass my door
So glad you obliged
