[Verse 1] Well, my mama told me, my papa told me, too Well, my mama told me, papa told me, too Well, I shouldn't be here trying to sing these railroad blues Wish I had listened to what my mama said Wish I had listened to what my mama said I wouldn't be here trying to sleep in this cold iron bed [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] I went to the depot, never got there on time Went down to the depot, never got there on time Well, that train's going down, she's rolling down the line Mister jailеr, go away now, don't tell me no lies Mistеr jailer, go away now, don't tell me no lies My train's going down, she's rolling down the line [Instrumental Break] [Outro] My mama told me, my papa told me, too Well, my mama told me, papa told me, too Well, I shouldn't be here trying to sing these railroad blues Wish I had listened, oh, to what my mama said Wish I had listened, oh, to what my mama said Well, I wouldn't be here trying to sleep in this cold iron bed
