It was given to me by a 'catter a few months ago - can't remember who, might have been Wolfgang. The URL is: http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~pjkuijve/ --Stewie. |

[If not, try it both ways. ;- ) Right now, I'm looking for "The Train [That's] Bringing Jimmie Rodgers Home," which I heard Irish Dement sing last Sunday on Prairie Home Companion. I think it's in the forum somewhere. Still looking through all the "Jimmie Rodgers" threads. |
21 Jun 02 - 07:11 PM (#734473) Subject: Lyr Add: THE TRAIN CARRYING JIMMIE RODGERS HOME From: masato sakurai Genie, it's Greg Brown's "The Train Carrying Jimmie Rodgers Home". You can hear Iris Dement singing this song HERE (ARCHIVED PERFORMANCE OF A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION June 15, 2002; click on "31:34").
THE TRAIN CARRYING JIMMIE RODGERS HOME
Come along, my dear, the time is growin' near,
Well, we had some hard times these last few years,
I can hear that whistle blow; that old train is rollin' slow,
Come here my little fella and let me hold you up.
There goes the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home. Oh-de-loh (yodel) ~Masato |
21 Jun 02 - 07:50 PM (#734502) Subject: Lyr: Train Carrying Jimmie Rodgers Home From: Genie I found the lyrics in the deep recesses of my files, but thanks for posting the link to the thread where they're posted at Mudcat, Masato. My source has the name "Greg Brown" beside the title. Is he the songwriter? Genie |

22 Jun 02 - 12:21 PM (#734743) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Jimmie Rodgers - the singin' breakma From: Genie Yes, Masato! I'm afraid I just scanned ahead to the lyrics and didn't notice your blue clicky -- or the reference to Greg Brown as the author-- in your post. PHC is a veritable treasure house of musical gems [and a lot more]. Genie |
