verse 1:
C C7
Oh, Come along my dear
F C
The time is growing near
Am D G G7
We'll have to walk down where the field is overgrown
C C7
Consumption claimed his life
F C
And we dare not miss the sight
Am G C
Of the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home
verse 2:
C C7
We’ve had some hard times
F C
These past few years
Am D G G7
We lost the farm almost lost our spirits too
C C7
Oh, but it's the strangest thing
F C
When we heard that man sing
Am G C
Oh, we knew somehow we'd make it through
F F7
I can hear that whistle blow
C
That old train is rolling slow
D D7 G G7
Sounds like it's crying for the singing brakeman too
C C7
Back to the sunny south he'll go
F C
And he'll never roam no more
Am G C
Here comes the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home

Come here my little son

And let me hold you up
Am D G G7
I want you to - remember when - you are grown
C C7
How your mama and your dad
F C
Were so proud and so sad
Am G C
Watching the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home
F F7
I can hear that whistle blow
C
That old train is rolling slow
D D7 G G7
Sounds like it's crying for the singing brakeman too
C C7
Back to the sunny south he'll go

And he'll never roam no more
Am G C
Here comes the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home
