Ill tell you a story of Jimmie the Kid Hes a brakeman you all know He was born in Mississippi way down south And he flagged on the T. N.O He yodeled to fame on the Boston Main The Wabash and the T.P From the old Grand Trunk to the Cotton Belt He yodeled on the Santa Fe Break fiddle On the Lehigh Valley he yodeled awhile Then he went to the Nickel Plate From the old Lake Shore and the Erie Line He yodeled to a Cadillac Eight 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 Break guitar Now the story goes that Jimmie the Kid Has a yodeling mama so sweet They go Cadillacin every night And they yodel up and down the street Hes rode freight trains from east to west Hes fixed himself up nice Hes got a beautiful home all of his own Its the yodelers paradise You might also likeBreak guitar Now theyve treated him good and theyve treated him bad Though he never done any wrong He yodels a yodel that everybody knows Is the yodeling brakemans song
