Treasure Untold

Jimmie Rodgers

Dreaming of you and your eyes of blue
I've loved you forever it seems
I had longed for you dear wanted you near
You are the girl of my dreams
Although I have met you just now
I'd tell you of my love somehow

If I could but win your heart little girl
Then I would have treasure untold
The kisses you gave me in life's sweetest dreams
Are even more precious than gold
I love your sweet face and your dear smiling eyes
How often that story's been told
If I could but win your heart little girl
Then I would have treasure untold
[ instrumental ]
If I could but win your heart little girl...

If you ever had the blues you know just how I feel
If you ever had the blues you know just how I feel
I'm about to lose my lovin' gal Lucille

I love you mama but I don't like your lowdown ways
I love you mama but I don't like your lowdown ways
You got me in trouble and now I'm served in days
[ instrumental ]
Well I ain't gonna marry I ain't gonna settle down
Lord I ain't gonna marry I ain't gonna settle down
I'm gonna be a rounder till the police shoots me down
[ instrumental ]
You can blow your whistle mama you can toot your horn
You can blow your whistle mama you can toot your horn
You're gonna wake up some morning and find your daddy gone

My Old Pal

Jimmie Rodgers - Elsie McWilliams

I'm thinking of you tonight my old pal and wishing that you was here
I'm dreaming of the time and the days gone by when you filled my heart with cheer
I remember the nights when all alone we sang sweet dotted line
No other face can take your place in my heart old pal of mine

The old pals are always the best you see
New friends you could find every day
But they can't fill the places or ever be
Like the old pals of yesterday
[ instrumental ]
I'm wondering just where you are tonight and if you ever think of me
It would make my weary heart so light sweetheart your face again to see
But in my checked life I find nothing comes right it seems
Still you'll always be a pal of mine though it may be only a dream

The old pals are always the best you see...

Brakeman's Blues (Yodeling The Blues Away)

Jimmie Rodgers

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
[ instrumental ]
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

Midnight Turning Day Blues (Blue Yodel No. 6)

Jimmie Rodgers

© Peer Int, BMI

She left me this morning midnight was turning day
She left me this morning midnight was turning day
I didn't have no blues until my good gal went away

I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day
I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day
I wish a tornado would blow my blues away
[ instrumental ]
One of these mornings I'm sure gonna leave this town
It's killing me honey
One of these mornings I'm sure gonna leave your town
Cause you trapplin' women really keep a good man down
[ instrumental ]
A woman will follow you right to the jailhouse door
A woman will follow you right to the jailhouse door
Then she'll laugh and tell you you can't fuss and fight no more

Travelin' Blues

Jimmie Rodgers - Shelly Lee Alley

I had a dream last night I thought my good gal has gone
Well I woke up this morning she really had done me wrong
I know it's not fair but my good gal has done caught there

I'm goin' away leaving today I'm gonna bring my baby back
If that eight wheel driver don't jump the railroad track
I take her from that man gonna bring her home if I can
[ instrumental ]
My gal's been triflin' round about a week I know
Several of my friends just told me so and so
She's findin' new man and now I can't understand

So I'm goin' away leaving today I'm gonna bring my baby back...
[ instrumental ]
Well it's true my baby's gone I know it won't be long
We'll both be on that train my baby's coming home again
She's been triflin' round but now she has turned him down

Yeah I'm goin' away leaving today I'm gonna bring my baby back...

Lullaby Yodel

Jimmie Rodgers

© Peer Int, BMI

My baby I know that you want me
Each lonely night and day
Your deep blue eyes how they haunt me
Though you're far away

Oh why did she take you away from arms
And leave nothing to cherish there
She left me so blue but when she took you too
It seems more than l could bear

My baby I want you tonight dear
After my work is through
To rock you to sleep in my arms dear
And sing lullabys to you
[ instrumental ]
A dream of you baby caresses
Dimples and golden hair
And reach out to clasp you in my arms
To find only emptiness there

Your future has been the chief thing in my life
You'll never know how it means
My plans and my schemes are all blasted it seems
For you are my only embrace

My baby I want you tonight dear
After my work is through
Just to rock you to sleep in my arms dear
And sing lullabys to you

My Rough And Rowdy Ways

Jimmie Rodgers

© Peer Int, BMI

For years and years I've rambled I drank my wine and gambled
But one day I thought I would settle down
I have met a perfect lady she said she'd be my baby
We built a cottage in the old hometown

But somehow I can't forget my good old rambling ways
The railroad trains are calling me away
I may be tough I may be wild I may be rough and that's just my style
I can't give up my rough and rowdy ways
[ instrumental ]
But somehow I can't forget my good old rambling ways...
