Brakeman's Blues - Bill Monroe

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

Went down to the depot and I looked up on the board

Went down to the depot and I looked up on the board

It read it’s good times here but better on down the road

Eat 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 seen

Where 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
