Brakeman's Blues
(Jimmie Rodgers)


Portland Maine is just the same as sunny Tennessee
Portland Maine is just the same as sunny Tennessee
Any old place I hang my hat it's home sweet home to me

Oh, and I went down to the depot and I looked up on the board
I went down to the depot and I looked up on the board
Said it's good times here, gets better on down the road

Eat my breakfast here, eat my dinner in New Orleans
Eat my breakfast here, eat my dinner in New Orleans
Gonna find me a woman Lord, like you ain't never seen

If the train should catch on fire, Lord there ain't no water 'round
If the train should catch on fire, Lord there ain't no water 'round
On my train look out the window and I might ride on down

Well, Portland Maine is just the same as sunny Tennessee
Portland Maine is just the same as sunny Tennessee
Any old place I hang my hat it's home sweet home to me
