Jimmie the Kid [Parts of the Life of Rodgers]

I'll tell you a story of Jimmie the
Kid he's a brakeman you all know
He was born in Mississippi
Away down south and
He flagged on the T N & O
He yodeled to fame on the Boston
Main the Wabash and the Teepee
From the old Grand Trunk to the cotton belt
And he yodeled on the Santa Fe

On the Lehigh Valley he yodeled awhile then
He went to the Nickel Plate
From the old Lake Shore and the Erie Line
Now he yodels 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

Now the story goes that Jimmie the Kid
He 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 and
West he's fixed himself up nice
He's got a beautiful home all of
His own it's the yodeler's paradise

They've treated him good they've treated him
Bad he never done any wrong
He yodels a yodel that everybody knows
Is the yodeling brakeman's song
