Jimmie's Mean Mama Blues

Jimmie's Mean Mama Blues - Jimmie Rodgers (吉米·罗杰斯)

For weary weeks I waited

And hoping for the best

But blues will make me ramble

And the rails are leading west

I'm feeling oh so lonesome

Pleasure I can't find

I'm leaving you mean mama

Just to worry you off of my mind

That old kindly whistle

Just fall in line and smile

Mean my mama haunts me

And I crave the peace of mind

I don't know where I'm going

I'm feeling kind of square

I've been from several places

And I'm going to be from here

Seems there's something missing

There's feelings in my breath

I crave to cover distance

So mean mama give me wreath

I hear the rails a singing

The sky is clear and blue

I'm going to leave you mama

When the train comes rolling through

No money in my pocket

I'm roving around so flat

And soon I'll be strolling

Down that railroad track

And when I'm miles away

Riding all the while

I think of you mean mama

I think of you and smile
