Big Railroad Blues Lyrics

Grateful Dead

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 listened what my mama said Wish I had listened what my mama said Well I wouldn't be here tryin' to sleep in this cold iron bed
Alright
Well I went to the depot, I'd never got there on time Went down to the depot, I'd never got there on time Well the train done left, she's a rollin' down the line
Mister jailer, go away now, don't tell me no lies Mister jailer, away, don't tell me no lies When my train go down, she's rollin' down the line, 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 tryin' to sing these railroad blues
Wish I had listened what my mama said Wish I had listened what my mama said Well I wouldn't be here tryin' to sleep in this cold iron bed, no, no
