The Train Carrying Jimmie Rodgers Home

    C             C7
Oh, Come along my dear
    F               C
The time is growing near
              Am                   D           G   G7
We'll have to walk down where the field is overgrown
   C                    C7
Consumption claimed his life
       F                 C
And we dare not miss the sight
       Am             G              C
Of the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home

VERSE 2:
      C             C7
We’ve had some hard times
      F        C
These past few years
            Am          D                G   G7
We lost the farm almost lost our spirits too
        C                  C7
Oh, but it's the strangest thing
        F              C
When we heard that man sing
       Am       G                C
Oh, we knew somehow we'd make it through

CHORUS:
      F                 F7
I can hear that whistle blow
         C
That old train is rolling slow
                 D              D7               G   G7
Sounds like it's crying for the singing brakeman too
            C                 C7
Back to the sunny south he'll go
          F             C
And he'll never roam no more
               Am             G              C
Here comes the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home

VERSE 3:
     C              C7
Come here my little son
    F               C
And let me hold you up
           Am            D              G   G7
I want you to - remember when - you are grown
         C             C7
How your mama and your dad
        F            C
Were so proud and so sad
             Am             G              C
Watching the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home

CHORUS:
      F                 F7
I can hear that whistle blow
         C
That old train is rolling slow
                 D              D7               G   G7
Sounds like it's crying for the singing brakeman too
            C                 C7
Back to the sunny south he'll go
          F             C
And he'll never roam no more
               Am             G              C
Here comes the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home
       F                 F7
          C
               Am             G              C
Here comes the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home (YODEL THIS)
