I used to sing this song in danish when i was a kid... The lyrics are a bit different, but same story... sad sad, but good. :/

[YumWrinkledTaffySac]

Amazing. I absolutely love this song.

[stammlager5]

Beautiful song. It's like Jimmie Rodgers' own version of St. James Infirmary. Of course, I love that song too.

[ATSF1927]

I remember my Mother would play his records a lot, I remember in 1933 when the radio announcer talked about when Jimmie left us, my Mother cried. This brought some great memories.

This is amazing. This is alot like the song "St. James Infirmary". A few of the lyrics are the same. Is it a version of that song? I know "Nine Pound Hammer" is a version of "John Henry" but the lyrics are a little different also..

one of the best fuckin songs ever
