Big Railroad Blues (Noah Lewis)

Lyrics

My momma told me, my papa told me too
My momma told me, my papa told me too
That I shouldn't be here tryin to sing these railroad blues

Wish I had listened, oh, what mama said
Wish I had listened, oh, what mama said
Then I wouldn't be here tryin to sleep in this cold iron bed

Went down to the depot, never got there on time
Went down to the depot, never got there on time
The train left town, it's rollin down the line

Mr. Jailer go away now, don't tell me no lies
Mr. Jailer go away now, don't tell me no lies
The train goin down, it's rollin down the line
