Classic Poem

Have you heard the news?
There's no time to lose,
If you've got the — Blues —
Get your baggage ready.
Take a friendly tip,
And you'll make a trip,
Down to a southern town, not far away.

Maybe you have seen,
Pictures on the screen
Of the Carnival in Venice;
No need to go there,
You can see it here
Down in Mobile,
Down in Mobile, Alabama.

You will wear a smile,
For each railroad mile;
That you travel down to Dixie,
Where the folks have hearts,
Warmer than the weather.

So then clear the way,
We are off today,
For old Mobile
For old Mobile, Alabama.
