Big Railroad Blues

Well, my momma told me, my poppa told me too
Now, my momma told me, pGXpa told me too
Well, I shouldn't be here tryin' to sing these railroad blues
Wish I had a'listened to what my momma said
Wish I had a'listened to what my momma 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 'way now, don't tell me no lies
Mister jailer go 'way, don't tell me no lies
When my train come down, she can roll up and down the line
Well, my momma told me, my poppa told me too
Now, my momma told me, poppa told me too
Well, I shouldn't be here tryin' to sing these railroad blues
Wish I had a'listened to what my momma said
Wish I had a'listened to what my momma said
Well, I wouldn't be here tryin' to sleep in this cold iron bed
