Lyric Big Railroad Blues

Well my mama told me, my papa told me too,
Now my mama told me, papa told me too,
Well I shouldn t be here tryin to sing these railroad blues.

Wish I had a listened to what my mama said,
Wish I had a listened to what my mama said,
Well I wouldn t be here tryin to sleep in this cold iron bed.

Well I went to the depot, I never got there on time,
Went down to the depot, never got there on time.
Well my train done left, she s a rollin down the line.

Mister jailer go away now, don t tell me no lies,
Mister jailer go away, don t tell me no lies,
When the train s going down, she s rollin down the line.

Well my mama told me, my papa told me too,
Now my mama told me, papa told me too,
Well I shouldn t be here tryin to sing these railroad blues.
