Big Railroad Blues 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
