Hank Snow - When Jimmie Rodgers Said Goodbye lyrics

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 brakemen and to the kiddies a lullaby To all sweethearts he left a love song when Jimmie Rodgers said goodbye He left a yodel for the cowboy they sing it now with tear-dimmed eyes And he left every prairie lonely when Jimmie Rodgers said goodbye Break (fiddle - steel) They miss him down in Alabama across the world you can hear them sing Mississippi lost their blue yodeler when Jimmie Rodgers 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 Rodgers said goodbye
