Big Railroad Blues (Live at Pershing Municipal Auditorium, Lincoln, NE, February 26, 1973)

My momma told me my poppa told me too

My momma told me poppa told me too

And I shouldn't be here trying to sing these railroad blues

Wish I had alistened to what my momma said

Wish I had alistened to what my momma said

That I went to the depot and the cold I will feel

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

My momma told me my poppa told me too

My momma told me poppa told me too

Well I shouldn't be here trying to sing these railroad blues

Wish I had alistened to what my momma said

Wish I had alistened to what my momma said

I went to the depot and the cold I will feel
