Текст песни: Annabell of Mobile + перевод

Papa died leaving me and Mama alone

Didn’t starve, but we were relatively on our own

Mama bought us a house high upon the hill

In the outskirts overlooking Mobile

Friday night mama’s friends climbed up our hill

Clever men, big business men from Mobile

They call me over and they touch my yellow hair

My mama look at them, she’d say don’t you dare

I remember when the morning came

Mama cryin' in the morning rain

Because they called her by a funny name

Annabell of Mobile

I’d go to bed and mama would always tuck me in

She’d kiss my eyes and tell me that she’d see me in the morning

Then I’d hear the laughter from another room

As I fell asleep beneath an Alabama moon

Fell in love with a boy, took him home so mama could meet him

He caught onto mama right away and he couldn’t believe it

'Cos I didn’t know she took him inside and she said

If you really love her don’t tell her what I am till I’m dead

I remember when the morning came

Mama cryin' in the morning rain

Because they called her by a funny name

Annabell of Mobile

One night the light didn’t burn so bright on the hill

You see I knew what mama was and I loved her still

And the laughter in the rooms are gone for evermore from the hill

There’s a lot of lonely men tonight all over mobile

I remember when the morning came

I was cryin' in the morning rain

My mama’s gotta know I’m not ashamed

Of Annabell of Mobile

My mama
