Lyrics The Train Carrying Jimmie Rodgers Home - Greg Brown
Come
along,
my
dear,
the
time
is
growin'
near,
We'll
have
to
walk
down
where
the
field
is
overgrown.
Consumption
has
claimed
his
life
and
we
dare
not
miss
the
sight,
Of
the
train
carrying
Jimmie
Rodgers
home.
Well,
we
had
some
hard
times
these
last
few
years,
Lost
the
farm,
almost
lost
our
spirits,
too.
Yeah,
but
it's
the
strangest
thing;
when
we
heard
that
man
sing,
Oh,
we
knew
somehow
we'd
make
it
through.
I
can
hear
that
whistle
blow;
that
old
train
is
rollin'
slow,
Sounds
like
it's
cryin'
for
the
singin'
brakeman,
too.
Back
to
the
sunny
south
he'll
go,
and
he'll
never
roam
no
more,
Here's
the
train,
oh
hold
me
close,
oh
sweetheart
do.
Come
here
my
little
fella
and
let
me
hold
you
up.
I
want
you
to
remember
this
day
when
you're
grown.
How
your
mama
and
your
dad
were
so
proud
and
so
sad,
Watchin'
the
train
carrying
Jimmie
Rodgers
home.
There
goes
the
train
carrying
Jimmie
Rodgers
home.
