Mother's Blues (Little Children Blues) Lyrics

These blues are little chillin′
Made about somebody that's gone away
And that′s sad
And that give you the blues

As I went down to the freight depot
When that train comes a-rollin' by
I waved my hand at my mama that I love
Goin' down that railroad track

She′s gone, she′s gone
She's gone, she′s gone
And no cryin' won′t bring her back
She's the onliest mother that I ever did love
Goin′ down this railroad track

As I went down to the freight depot
And I looked up on this sign
Thinkin' 'bout the onliest mother that I had in this world
And I couldn′t help from hangin′ my head and cryin'

It was farewell, it was farewell
And she′s gone, she's gone, she′s gone
She's gone down that lonesome railroad track
And she left me here to sing this song
