letra de the passing of jimmie rodgers - ernest tubb
[verse 1]
our beloved, america’s blue yodeler
jimmie rodgers you all knew by name
went to new york, some new songs to record
but his frail health could not stand the strain
over the wire, soon a message came flying
which left many eyes filled with tears
he gave up the strife in the prime of his life
said goodbye at just 35 years
[verse 2]
his world mourns his untimely passing
leaving much of his work still undone
although you search everywhere, there is none to compare
with this yodeling singer who’s gone
many songs he has written to cheer you
but left here with some still unsung
though unworthy am i, yet i’m happy to try
to finish the task he begun
[verse 3]
with his memory as my inspiration
i’ll pick up the torch he laid down
i’ll enter the race, record in his place
to banish your sighs and your frown
i’ll sing all the songs he has written
i’ll follow his steps day by day
so dry up your tears as i try through the years
to yodel your blues away
[outro]

oh-de-lay-ee-ay, de-lay-ee
oh-de-lay-ee-ay, oh-lay-ee-oh, oh-lay-ee
