Jimmie the Kid

歌詞

I'll tell you a story of Jimmie the Kid He's a brakeman you all know He was born in Mississippi way down south And he flagged on the T. & N.O. He yodeled to fame on the Boston Main The Wabash and the T.P. From the old Grand Trunk to the Cotton Belt He yodeled on the Santa Fe Break (fiddle) On the Lehigh Valley he yodeled awhile Then he went to the Nickel Plate From the old Lake Shore and the Erie Line He yodeled to a Cadillac Eight He yodeled his way to the C. & A. The Lackawanna and I.C. He rode a rattler called the Cannonball Then he yodeled on the M.K. & T. Break (guitar) Now the story goes that Jimmie the Kid Has a yodeling mama so sweet They go Cadillacin' every night And they yodel up and down the street He's rode freight trains from east to west He's fixed himself up nice He's got a beautiful home all of his own It's the yodeler's paradise Break (guitar) Now they've treated him good and they've treated him bad Though he never done any wrong He yodels a yodel that everybody knows Is the yodeling brakeman's song
