Brakeman’s Blues Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Portland in Maine is just the same as sunny Tennessee
I said Portland, Maine is just the same as sunny Tennessee
Boy, any old place I hang my hat is home sweet home to me

[Verse 2]
Well, I went down to the depot and I looked up on the board
Well, I went down to the depot and I looked up on the board
You know it said it's good times here, but better on down the road

[Verse 3]
Well, I'll eat my breakfast here
And eat my dinner in New Orleans
Well, I'll eat my breakfast here and eat my dinner in New Orleans
I'm gonna find me a woman, Lord, I ain't never seen

[Verse 4]
Where was your mama when my train left the shed?
Where was your mama when my train left the shed?
I was hanging by my front door wishing to God that I was dead

[Verse 5]
Well, I went to a little gypsy at a fortune telling place
Well, I went to a little gypsy at a fortune telling place
She read my mind and then she slapped my face
