Lyrics Jimmie the Kid - Hank Snow
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.
and
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.
YODEL
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.
YODEL
He
yodeled
his
way
to
the
C.
& A.
The
Lackawanna
and
I.
C.
He
rode
a
rattler
called
the
Cannon
Ball
Then
he
yodeled
on
the
M.
K.
& T.
YODEL
Now
the
story
goes
that
Jimmie
the
Kid
Has
a
yodeling
mama
so
sweet
They
go
"Cadillac-ing"
every
night
And
they
yodel
up
and
down
the
street.
YODEL
He
rode
freight
trains
from
East
to
West
He's
fixed
himself
up
nice
He's
got
a
beautiful
home,
all
of
his
own
It's
the
yodeler's
paradise.
YODEL
They've
treated
him
good,
They've
treated
him
bad
He
never
done
any
wrong
He
yodels
a
yodel
that
ever'body
knows
Is
the
yodeling
brakeman's
song.
