Big Railroad Blues

Lyrics:

• Well my mama told me, my papa told me too
• Well my mama told me, my papa told me too
• Well I shouldn't be here trying to sing these railroad blues


• Wish I had listened to oh what mama said
• Wish I had listened to oh what mama said
• Well I wouldn't be here trying 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 that train's rolling down, she's rolling down the line


• Mister jailer go away now, don't tell me no lies
• Mister jailer go away now, don't tell me no lies
• Well that train's going down, she's rolling down the line


• Well my mama told me, my papa told me too
• Well my mama told me, papa told me too
• Well I shouldn't be here trying to sing these railroad blues


• Wish I had listened to oh what mama said
• Wish I had listened to oh what mama said
• Well I wouldn't be here trying to sleep in this cold iron bed
