Jimmie Rodgers Visits The Carter Family

(album: The Carter Family Volume 1 - 1927-1934 - 2002)

Far away on a hill, thou a sunny mountain side
Many years ago we parted, my little Ruth and I
From the sunny mountain side

Hey girls, stop that noise!
Yonder comes a strange car up our road
Lord, it may be the revenue-officer
It has a Texas license
Oh, that's Jimmie Rodgers!
Hey hey, howdy Folks, dee yodel ay hee hee
Ha ha, so this is Virginia?
Yes Sir, mighty glad to see you, Jimmie!
Get out and come right in!
You are the first cowboy we've seen in a long time
He he, is that so?
Boy it's a long way from here to Texas
Man Man, I didn't know it's such a drive from Texas to Virginia
Well, I'm here anyhow
Gee! I've been wanting to see you, Folks, for a long time
How about a little drink, Jimmie?
Ha ha, Boy that sounds good to me, dee yodel ay hee hee
Man Man, come and go get the old boy a little squirt, will you?
Girls, you all play him a little tune
Make him feel like he's at home while he's at Maces Springs

My little darling, oh how I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling, pal of mine
