| Lyrics: | 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 |
