Narration #2 (Same Train, A Different Time) - Merle Haggard

Jimmie rodgers earned the title of america’s blue yodler

By composing and performing a series of 12 blue yodles

Jimmie by no means invented the yodle

But provided the yodle a unique interpretation by combining it with the blues

Jimmie made the yodle work for him

His yodle could display pain loneliness or even a happy frame of mind

Somebody said that jimmie often inserted the yodle because he ran out of

Lyric but i prefer to think that jimmie rodger’s yodle more often

Than not displayed his real feelings better than any lyric could have…
