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\nHe was born in Mississippi away down south and he flagged on the T N &O\nHe yodeled to fame on the Boston Main the Wabash and the Teepee\nFrom the old Grand Trunk to the cotton belt and he yodeled on the Santa Fe\nOn the Lehigh Valley he yodeled awhile then he went to the Nickel Plate\nFrom the old Lake Shore and the Erie Line now he yodels to a Cadillac Eight\nHe yodeled his way to the C &A the Lackawanna and I C\nHe rode a rattler called the Cannonball then he yodeled on the M K &T\nNow the story goes that Jimmie the Kid he has a yodeling mama so sweet\nThey go Cadillacin' every night and they yodel up and down the street\nHe’s rode freight trains from East and West he’s fixed himself up nice\nHe’s got a beautiful home all of his own it’s the yodeler’s paradise\nThey’ve treated him good they’ve treated him bad he never done any wrong\nHe yodels a yodel that everybody knows is the yodeling brakeman’s song
