Текст песни: Jimmie The Kid + перевод

I’ll tell you a story of Jimmie the Kid

He’s 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

He’s 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

Break (guitar)

Now they’ve treated him good and they’ve treated him bad

Though he never done any wrong

He yodels a yodel that everybody knows

Is the yodeling brakeman’s song
