|f_annotation='''JIMMIE ON THE RAILROAD.''' American, (Slow) Reel (2/4 or whole time). USA, North Georgia. A Major. AEae tuning (fiddle). AABA. A moderately paced breakdown (or slowish reel), recorded by John Carson in 1924, playing a solo fiddle, perhaps meant as a listening tune rather than for dancing. The title is perhaps a variant of "Jenny on the Railroad," which refers to a female mule, and the tunes are similar. Alan Jabbour also connects the tune with "[[Colonel Crockett]]" in Knauff's 1839 collection and also "[[Route (The)]]."  [[File:carson.jpg|200px|thumb|left|John Carson (1868-1949)]]
