Railroad Blues Songtext
von Sam McGee

Went to the depot, looked up on the board
Went to the depot, looked up on the board
It read good time here, but better down the road

Well, you can′t do me like you done poor Shine
You can't do me like you done poor Shine
You dug poor Shine′s woman, but you sure can't take mine

Here come Depot Bailey now, with the harmonica
Tom Long coming tonight with a load of pig iron


Where was your mama when the train left the shed?
Where was your mama when the train left the shed?
Standing in my front door, wishing I was dead

Two little monkeys playing up in a tree
Two little monkeys playing up in a tree
One said to the other, "Come on, let's make hoopee"

I met a little gypsy in a fortune telling place
I met a little gypsy in a fortune telling place
She read my mind, then she slapped my face
