Lefty Frizzell - Brakeman's Blues Lyrics

Lefty Frizzell Lyrics

"Brakeman's Blues"
(originally by Jimmie Rodgers)

Portland Maine is just the same as sunny Tennessee
Portland Maine is just the same as sunny Tennessee
Any old place I hang my hat is home sweet home to me

I went to the depot and looked up on the board
I went to the depot and looked up on the board
It said it's good times here but better on down the road

I'll eat my breakfast here get my dinner in New Orleans
I'll eat my breakfast here get my dinner in New Orleans
I'm going to get me a momma Lord I ain't never seen

Well, where was your momma when the train left the shed
Where was your momma when the train left the shed
Standin' in my front door wishin' to God I was dead
