If my mama told me what my papa told me too
If my mama told me what my papa told me too
Well, I wouldn't be here trying to sing these railroad blues
Wish I had listen to what my mama said
Wish I had listen to what my mama said
Well, I wouldn't be here trying to sleep in this cold iron bed

Jenny, go away now, don't tell me no lies
Jenny go away now, don't tell me no lies
Well, my train's going down, she's rolling down the line
Well, I went to the depot, never got there on time
Well, I went to the depot, never got there on time
Well, my train's going down, she's rolling down the line

If my mama told me what my papa told me too
If my mama told me what my papa told me too
Well, I wouldn't be here trying to sing these railroad blues
Wish I had listen to what my mama said
Wish I had a listen to what my mama said
Well, I wouldn't be here trying to sleep in this cold iron bed
I try not to push, there's people up here who are visibly shaken
So if everybody in the back would kinda like step back a pace or so
Actually, the sound is best about 30 feet out from the stage anyway
You can hear the PA and all that
So, uh, you know, consider those squashed in front
There, but for the grace of God and all that
