Big Railroad Blues (Live at Wembley Empire Pool, London, April 8, 1972)

[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
