Anniversary Blue Yodel - Blue Yodel No. 7 Lyrics


Yodelei...
I was a stranger passing through your town
I was a stranger passing through your town
When I asked you a favor, good gal, you turned me down
Yodelei...
You may see me talking, walking down the railroad tracks
You may see me talking, walking down the railroad tracks
But good gal, you've done me wrong, I ain't never coming back
It's the truth, honey
Honey, I'm so lonesome, I don't know what to do
I'm so lonesome, I don't know what to do
The way you treat me, mama, I hope you're lonesome too, Lord, Lord, Lord
I rode the Southern, I rode the L&N, yes I have
Lord, I rode the Southern, I rode the L&N
And if the police don't get me, I'm gonna ride them again

Yodelei...
Tell 'em about me
Look a here, mister brakeman, don't put me off your train
Please, mister brakeman, don't put me off of your train
'Cause the weather's cold and it looks like it's going to rain
Yodelei...
I like Mississippi, a fool about Tennessee
I like Mississippi, fool about Tennessee
But these Texas women 'bout got the best of me

There is more than one artist by the name 'Jimmie Rodgers'. 1) Jimmie Rodgers (James Charles Rodgers, September 8, 1897 – May 26, 1933) was an American country singer in the early 20th century, known most widely for his rhythmic yodeling. Among the first country music superstars and pioneers, Rodgers was also known as "The Singing Brakeman", "The Blue Yodeler", and "The Father of Country Music". The Bristol sessions are considered the "Big Bang" of modern country music. They were held in 1927 in Bristol, Tennessee by Victor Talking Machine Company company producer Ralph Peer.
