Jimmie The Kid
Recorded by Hank Snow
Written by Jimmie Rodgers

C
I'll tell you a story of Jimmie the Kid 
       F                C
He's a brakeman you all know 
       F                   C
He was born in Mississippi away down south 
       G7                     C
And he flagged on the T & N & O 


He yodeled to fame on the Boston Main 
    F                 C
The Wabash and the Teepee
F                               C
From the old Grand Trunk to the cotton belt 
   G7                   C
He yodeled on the Santa Fe


On the Lehigh Valley he yodeled awhile
        F                  C
Then he went to the Nickel Plate 
F                               C
From the old Lake Shore and the Erie Line 
   G7                    C
He yodeled to a Cadillac Eight 


He yodeled his way to the C & A 
    F                C    
The Lackawanna and I C 
   F                         C
He rode a rattler called the Cannonball 
        G7                   C   
Then he yodeled on the M K & T 


Now the story goes that Jimmie the Kid 
      F                C
Has a yodeling mama so sweet 
     F              C
They go Cadillacin' every night 
         G7                    C
And they yodel up and down the street 


He's rode freight trains from East to West 
     F                C
He's fixed himself up nice 
     F                        C
He's got a beautiful home all of his own 
     G7                C
It's the yodeler's paradise 
 

Now they've treated him good 

And they've treated him bad 
   F              C
He never done any wrong 
   F                   C 
He yodels a yodel that everybody knows 
       G7                  C
Is the yodeling brakeman's song
