Jimmie the Kid Songtext
von Hank Snow

I′ll tell you a story of Jimmy the Kid
He's a brakeman you all know
He was born in Mississippi way down south
And he flagged on the T&NO

He yodeled to fame on the Boston Main
The Wabash and the Teepee
From the old Grand Trunk to the Cotton Belt
He yodeled on the Santa Fe

On the Lehigh Valley, he yodeled a while
Then he went to the Nickel Plate
From Old Lake Shore to the Red Line
He yodeled to a Cadillac A


He yodeled his way to the C and A
The Lackawanna and the IC
He rode a rival called the Cannonball
Then he yodeled on the NK&T

Now the story goes that Jimmy the Kid
Has a yodeling mama so sweet
They go Cadillacing 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

Now they treated him good and they treated him bad
Though he never done any wrong
He yodels, he yodels
And everybody knows the yodeling brakeman's song
