Big Railroad Blues

(专辑： Grateful Dead (Skull & Roses) - 1971)

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.

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 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,
When the train's going down, she's rolling 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.
