  JIMMIE THE KID

  Recorded by Jimmie Rodgers

  Words and music by Jimmie Rodgers and Bob Neville

  

  I'll [G] tell you a story of JIMMIE THE KID

  He's a [C] brakeman you all [G] know

  He was [C] born in Mississippi, a-[G] way down [Em] south

  And he [A7] flagged on the [D7] T. and N. [G] 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.

  

  YODEL (G/D7/G)

  

  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.

  

  YODEL (G/D7/G)

  

  He yodeled his way to the C. & A.

  The Lackawanna and I. C.

  He rode a rattler called the Cannon Ball

  Then he yodeled on the M. K. & T.

  

  YODEL (G/D7/G)

  

  Now the story goes that JIMMIE THE KID

  Has a yodeling mama so sweet

  They go "Cadillac-ing" every night

  And they yodel up and down the street.

  

  YODEL (G/D7/G)

  

  He 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.

  

  YODEL (G/D7/G)

  

  They've treated him good, they've treated him bad

  He never done any wrong

  He yodels a yodel that ever'body knows

  Is the yodeling brakeman's song.

  

  YODEL (G/D7/G)
