The Brakeman's Blues

Brakeman's Blues - Jo Stafford

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

Is home sweet home to me

I went to the depot and looked up on the board

I went to the depot and looked up on the board

It says it's good times here

But it's better on down the road

I'll eat my breakfast here

Get my dinner in New Orleans

I'll eat my breakfast here

Get my dinner in New Orleans

I'm gonna get me a mama Lord I ain't never seen

Where was you mama when the train left the shed

Where was you mama when the train left the shed

Standing in my front door wishing

You've gone I was dead
