Brakeman's Blues Lyrics

Lefty Frizzell Brakeman's Blues

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 says it's good times here but it's better on down the
road

[ fiddle ]

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 gonna get me a mama Lord I ain't never seen
Where was you mama when the train left the shed
Where was you mama when the train left the shed
Standing in my front door wishing you've gone I was dead
