I done pack my belong   Gonna leave my woes   Goin' to a better place   With a smile upon my face      When that steam boat blows   And that Gulf stream flows   You'll hear me say goodbye   Because there's a reason why      The 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 someday      Tell 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      My eyes are brown   My teeth are pearly white   My eyes are brown   My teeth are pearly white   Because my skin is dark   Don't mean my heart ain't right
