When Jimmie Rodgers Said Goodbye
Hank Snow There's an old guitar that's lonely Since the master's gone away But he's singing to the angels Way up in Heaven today He left a blue song for the brakeman And to the kiddies a lullaby When Jimmie Rogers said goodbye To all sweethearts he left a lovesong He left a yodel for the cowboy They sing it now with tear dimmed eye And he left every prairie lonely When Jimmie Rogers said goodbye They miss him down in Alabama Across the world you can hear them say Mississippi lost their blue yodeler When Jimmie Rogers said goodbye Although the freight trains keep on running He caught a fast one on the fly But he left his guitar behind him When Jimmie Rogers said goodbye |
