Jimmie the Kid (Parts of the Life of Rodgers)
[Verse 1]
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
[Refrain]
[?]
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
[?]
[Verse 3]
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
[Refrain]

[Verse 4]
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
[Refrain]

[Verse 5]
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
[Refrain]
