Grateful Dead Big Railroad Blues

Big Railroad Blues
------------------
Well, my momma told me, my poppa told me too
Now, my momma told me, pGXpa told me too
Well, I shouldn't be here tryin' to sing these railroad blues.
Wish I had a'listened to what my momma said.
Wish I had a'listened to what my momma said.
Well, I wouldn't be here tryin' 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'rollin' down the line.
Mister jailer go 'way now, don't tell me no lies.
Mister jailer go 'way, don't tell me no lies.
When my train come down, she can roll up and down the line.
Well, my momma told me, my poppa told me too
Now, my momma told me, poppa told me too
Well, I shouldn't be here tryin' to sing these railroad blues.
Wish I had a'listened to what my momma said.
Wish I had a'listened to what my momma said.
Well, I wouldn't be here tryin' to sleep in this cold iron bed.
