Brakeman's Blues

Bill Monroe

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 meWent down to the depot and I looked up on the board
I went down to the depot and I looked up on the board
It read it's good times here, but better on down the roadEat 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 seenWhere 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
