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 a-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 a-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
