Lyrics

[Chorus: Jerry Garcia] 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 [Interlude: Jerry Garcia] Oh! Woo! [Instrumental] [Guitar Solo] [Verse 1: Jerry Garcia] 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 [Verse 2: All] 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 [Interlude: Jerry Garcia] Down the line [Instrumental] [Guitar Solo] [Chorus: Jerry Garcia] 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
