Railroad Blues Lyrics

[00:08.36] Went to the depot, looked up on the board
[00:13.47] Went to the depot, looked up on the board
[00:18.75] It read good time here, but better down the road
[00:24.67]
[00:39.96] Well, you can't do me like you done poor Shine
[00:56.20] You can't do me like you done poor Shine
[01:01.07] You dug poor Shine's woman, but you sure can't take mine
[01:05.73] Here come Depot Bailey now, with the harmonica
[01:08.20] Tom Long coming tonight with a load of pig iron
[01:28.57] Where was your mama when the train left the shed?
[01:45.25] Where was your mama when the train left the shed?
[01:50.72] Standing in my front door, wishing I was dead
[01:57.60] Two little monkeys playing up in a tree
[02:18.25] Two little monkeys playing up in a tree
[02:23.31] One said to the other, "Come on, let's make hoopee"
[02:31.25]
[02:37.57] I met a little gypsy in a fortune telling place
[03:02.41] I met a little gypsy in a fortune telling place
[03:07.56] She read my mind, then she slapped my face
[03:17.68]
