Big Railroad Blues

[Verse] 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 trying to sing these railroad blues [Chorus] Wish i had a listened to what my mama said Wish i had a listened to what my mama said [Verse 2] 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 my train done left, she's a rolling 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 rolling down the line [Chorus] [Outro] Well i wouldn't be here trying to sleep in this cold iron bed 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 trying to sing these railroad blues
