The Breakman's Blues

The Brakeman's Blues - Jimmie Rodgers/Tommy Dorsey

Portland main is just

The same as sunny Tennessee

Portland main is just

The same as sunny Tennessee

Any old place I hang my hat is

Home sweet home to me

Hey hey

I went to the depot

And I looked up on the board

Went to the depot

And I looked up on the board

It read it's good times here

But it's better down the road

I eat my breakfast here

Get my dinner in New Orleans

Eat my breakfast here

Get my dinner in New Orleans

I'm going to get me a momma

Lord I ain't never seen

Where was you momma

When the train left the shed

Where was you momma

When the train left the shed

Standin' in my front door

Wishin' to God I was dead

If your house catcha fire

There ain't no one around

If your house catcha fire

There ain't no one around

Just put my son out the window

Let the house burn down

If that's your momma

You'd better tie her to your side

If that's your momma

You'd better tie her to your side

Cause if she flash my train

I'm sure don't let her ride
