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

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

Back to the sunny south he'll go 
          F             C
