Jimmie's Mean Mama Blues Lyrics - Jimmie Rodgers

For weary weeks I waited 

And hoping for the best 

But blues will make me ramble 

And the rails are leading west 

I'm feeling oh, so lonesome 

Pleasure I can't find 

I'm leaving you mean mama 

Just to worry you off of my mind 

That old kindly whistle 

Just fall in line and smile 

Mean, my mama haunts me 

And I crave the peace of mind 

I don't know where I'm going 

I'm feeling kind of square 

I've been from several places 

And I'm going to be from here 

Seems there's something missing 

There's feelings in my breath 

I crave to cover distance 

So mean mama give me wreath 

I hear the rails a singing 

The sky is clear and blue 

I'm going to leave you mama 

When the train comes rolling through 

No money in my pocket 

I'm roving around so flat 

And soon I'll be strolling 

Down that railroad track 

And when I'm miles away 

Riding all the while 

I think of you mean mama 

I think of you and smile
