There is more than one artist by the name 'Jimmie Rodgers'. 1) Jimmie Rodgers - Father of Country Music "The Original" James Charles "Jimmie" Rodgers (September 8, 1897 -– May 26, 1933) was the first country music superstar. Rodgers, known as The Singing Brakeman and The Blue Yodeler, was born in Pine Springs, Mississippi, USA but considered his hometown to be Meridian, Mississippi, and spent most of his early life from boyhood accompanying his father on railroad jobs. He eventually became a railroad brakeman, an extremely dangerous and highly skilled job. In the days before air brakes, the brakeman had to stop the train by running on top of the moving train from car to car setting mechanical brakes on each one.

My Little Lady Lyrics

Jimmie Rodgers

1. I had a gal, oh, what a gal, her name was Haydee Brown. I'd take
her out, to ride about, when the moon was shining down. We'd sit
alone, when we got home, out in the old porch swing. Then the dear
little miss, would give me a kiss, while sweetly to her I would sing:
Oh, Haydee, my little lady, I love no one but you. Oh, Haydee, my
little lady, won't you love me, too? We'll get married in June, and
have a long honeymoon, then settle down for life. Oh, Haydee, my
little lady, won't you be my wife?
2. I had a gal, oh, what a pal, she left me alone one day. I didn't
mind, because I find, they most always do you that way. So, I went
about to try n' find out, if another gal I couldn't find. In less
than a day, I'd met Sadie Mae, now I hand her the same old line:
Oh, Sadie, my little lady, I love no one but you. Oh, Sadie, my
little lady, won't you love me, too? We'll get married in June, and
have a long honeymoon, then settle down for life. Oh, Sadie, my little
lady, won't you be my wife?
