Lyrics
My mama told me, my papa told me, too Now my mama told me, papa told me, too Well, I wouldn't be here trying to sing these railroad blues Wish I had a-listened, oh, to what my mama said Wish I had a-listened, oh, to what my mama said Well, I wouldn't be here trying to sleep in this cold iron bed Mister jailer, go away now, don't tell me no lies Mister jailer, go away now, don't tell me no lies Well, my train's going down, she's rolling down the line Well, I went to the depot, never got there on time Well, I went to the depot, never got there on time Well, the train's going down, she's 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 wouldn't be here trying 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 Then I wouldn't be here trying to sleep in this cold iron bed Try not to push, there's people up here who are visibly shaken. So if everybody in the back would kinda like step back a pace or so, actually the sound is best about thirty feet out from the stage anyway, you can hear the P.A. and all that. So, uh, you know, consider those squashed in front, there but for the grace of God and all that
