Cover art for Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves lyrics by Cher

Mobile is along the northern part of Mobile Bay, yes, but it is on the western edge, not the northern edge. There are a number of towns "just south of Mobile", including Mon Louis, Alabama Port, Heron Bay, and Dauphin Island.

@jeff109483 Good pick-up, Jeff. Just goes to show lyrical pursuits are not the ideal place to glean geographical knowledge. The original poster may have had better success referring to Paper Lace’s opening line in, “The Night Chicago Died”. (The Brit writers’ defence was that there is an east side to everywhere.)\r\n\r\nAs a die-hard Seger fan, I at least hope there are indeed hot days and railroad tracks in the aforementioned Mobile.
