The Train Carrying Jimmie Rodgers Home

 G		          G7		 C		      G 
Come along, my dear, the time is growing near. 
	          (Em)          G              A         A7    D     D7 
We'll have to walk down where the field is overgrown. 
      G		                G7	           C		           G 
Consumption's claimed his life and we dare not miss the sight 
 	   Em  (C)	        D	    D7        G 
Of the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home. 

               G		      G7	      C	    G 
Well, we had some hard times these last few years, 
 	     Em	G       A          A7      D        D7 
Lost the farm, almost lost our spirits, too. 
                G		          G7	                 C		       G 
Yeah, but it's the strangest thing; when we heard that man sing, 
 	    Em    (C)    D	          D7         G         G7 
Oh, we knew somehow we'd make it through. 
  
 
          C	                 (Am7)    	       G		    Em          
I can hear that whistle blow; that old train's a-movin' slow. 
                         G	 Em	     A       A7            D       (D7)         
Sounds like it's cryin' for that singing brakeman, too. 
                   G			   G7		      C     (Am7)       G 
Back to the sunny south he'll go, and he'll never roam no more, 
 	       Em	(G)	          D	        D7               G 
Here's the train, oh hold me close, oh, sweetheart, do. 


          G		       G7	C		     G 
Come here, my little one,  let me hold you up. 
	          (Em)          G     A           A7           D     D7 
Want you to remember this day when you are grown, 
                 G		        G7	           C	            G 
How your mama and your dad were so proud and so sad 
 	             Em   (G)         D         D7	  G 
Watching the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home. 

Chorus 

 		      Em    (G)	     D	       D7	    G 
There goes the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home. 
          G	     D           C	G 
Oh-de-lay-ee, Ay-dee, oh- oo
