Verse 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. Verse 2 Wish I had a'listened, oh-oh to what mama said, Wish I had a'listened, oh-oh to what mama said, Well I wouldn't be here Tryin' to sleep in this cold iron bed. verse 3 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. verse 4 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. verse 5 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
