'Stop That Train'
Stop that train mama, mama stop that train
Stop that train mama, mama stop that train
Twelve more hours to Memphis
An' I won't be back again
Stop that train sister, sister stop that train
Stop that train sister, oh sister stop that train
Seven days of darkness
Til I see your face again
Stop that train driver, oh driver stop that train
Stop that train driver, oh driver stop that train
Twelve more hours to Memphis
An' I won't be back again
Stop that train mama, mama stop that train
Stop that train mama, mama stop that train
Train keep on a' rollin'
My heart is full of pain
Warden cut my shackles, won't you cut 'em offa me
Warden cut my shackles, won't you cut 'em offa me
Won't you tell my mama
I died good n' free
Warden cut my shackles, cut 'em off a' me, c'mon
Warden cut my shackles, won't you cut 'em offa me
Ahh ten more years a' Folsom
Won't make a man of me
Warden cut my shackles, won't you cut 'em offa me
Oh warden cut my shackles, c'mon cut 'em offa me
Ten more years of Folsom
Let me out I plead
Lord show some mercy, mercy on this soul
Oh Lordy show some mercy, mercy on this soul
Thirty years a' cryin
Now the gallows pole
Stop that train mama, mama stop that train
Oh stop that train mama, mama stop that train
Only seven lives of darkness
Til I see your face again, oh yeah
Oh warden cut my shackles, please cut 'em offa me
Oh warden cut my shackles, please cut 'em offa me
Oh mama, dear mama
They're gonna tie me to the tree, yeah
Oh mama, oh mama, cut 'em offa me
Oh mama, dear mama, just cut 'em offa me
Won't you tell my mama
I died good n' free, oh Lord
Mama, mama, oh mama, mama, mama, why don't you save me, oh mama...
Won't you tell my mama
I died good n' free...
