G G7 C G Come along my dear the time is growing nearEm A7 D D7 I want you to walk down to where the field is over grownG G7 C G Consumption's claimed his life and we dare not miss the sightEm D D7 G Of the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home [Verse 2]G G7 C G We've had some hard times these last few yearsEm A7 D D7 Lost our farm - almost lost our spirits, tooG G7 C G But it's the strangest thing when we hear that brakeman singEm D D7 G we knew that some how we'd made it through. [Chorus]C I can hear that whistle blowG That old train is rollin' slowEm A7 D D7 Sounds like its crying for the singing brakeman tooG G7 C G Down to the sunny south he'll go and he'll never roam no moreEm D D7 G Here comes the train oh hold me close oh sweetheart, do [Verse 3]G G7 C G Come my little son and let me hold you upEm A7 D D7 I want you to remember this day when you are grownG G7 C G How your mama and your dad were so proud and so sadEm D D7 G Watching the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers homeEm D D7 G There goes the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home [Outro]C G D D7 G (Yodel away here...)
