The Grateful Dead - Big Railroad Blues lyrics
[The Grateful Dead - Big Railroad Blues lyrics]
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 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
Well, I wouldn't be here trying to
Sleep in this cold iron bed
Oh! Woo!
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's going down
She's a-rolling down the line
Mister jailer, go away now
Don't tell me no lies!
Mister jailer, go away
Don't tell me no lies!
Well my train's going down
She's a-rolling down the line
Down the line
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 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
Well, I wouldn't be here trying to
Sleep in this cold iron bed
Now my mama told me, Papa told me too
Well, I shouldn'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
Well, I wouldn't be here trying to
Sleep in this cold iron bed
Oh! Woo!
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's going down
She's a-rolling down the line
Mister jailer, go away now
Don't tell me no lies!
Mister jailer, go away
Don't tell me no lies!
Well my train's going down
She's a-rolling down the line
Down the line
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 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
Well, I wouldn't be here trying to
Sleep in this cold iron bed
