The Train Carrying Jimmie Rodgers Home

Вступление

THE TRAIN CARRYING JIMMIE RODGERS HOME

As performed by The Nashville Bluegrass Band

CAPO: 4th fret

VERSE 1:

Oh, Come along my dear

The time is growing near

We'll have to walk down where the field is overgrown

Consumption claimed his life

And we dare not miss the sight

Of the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home

VERSE 2:

We’ve had some hard times

These past few years

We lost the farm almost lost our spirits too

Oh, but it's the strangest thing

When we heard that man sing

Oh, we knew somehow we'd make it through

CHORUS:

I can hear that whistle blow

That old train is rolling slow

Sounds like it's crying for the singing brakeman too

Back to the sunny south he'll go

And he'll never roam no more

Here comes the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home

1X –

VERSE 3:

Come here my little son

And let me hold you up

I want you to - remember when - you are grown

How your mama and your dad

Were so proud and so sad

Watching the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home
