The Brakeman’s Blues |
| Portland, Maine |
| Is just the same |
| As sunny Tennessee-ee |
| Portland, Maine |
| Is just the same |
| As sunny Tennessee-ee-hee |
| Any old place |
| I hang my hat |
| Is home sweet home to me-ee |
| Odel-ay-he |
| Lay-he O-lee-o-lay-ee |
| Hey, hey, hey |
| I went to the depot |
| And looked up on the board |
| Went to the depot |
| And looked up on the board |
| Hello, Memphis |
| It said there’s good times here |
| But it’s better down the road |
| Odel-ay-he |
| Lay-he-ay-lee-o-lay-ee |
| I’ll eat my breakfast here |
| Get my dinner in New Orleans |
| Right on down to Birmingham |
| Get my breakfast here |
| Get my dinner in New Orleans he-heens |
| I’m gonna get me a mama |
| Lawd, I ain’t never see-een |
| Odel-ay-he |
| Where was you mama |
| When the train left the shed? |
| Yeah, buddy |
| Where was you mama |
| When the train left the shed? |
| Standin' in my front door |
| Wishin' to God I was dead |
| Odel-ay-he |
| Lay-he-ay-lee-o-lay-ee |
| If your house catch-a fire |
| There ain’t no water 'round |
| Sing them blues, boy! |
| If your house catch-a fire |
| There ain’t no water 'round |
| Just put my trunk out the window |
| Let the house burn on down |
| Odel-ay-he |
| If that’s your mama |
| You better tie her to your side |
| If that’s your mama |
| You better tie her to your side |
| Hush yo' noise! |
| 'Cause if she flags my train |
| I’m sure gonna let her ride |
| Odel-ay-he |
